Mr. Speaker, I do not know where the hon. member gets his information with regard to the context of guidelines which are to be released by the government.
I want to assure him however that the Prime Minister made a clear and unequivocal commitment to Canadians that this subject matter would be reviewed. The matter has been reviewed. We are in the throes of releasing those guidelines to the public. Members will then have an opportunity to assess their effectiveness.
I want to assure the hon. member the principles of competency, fiscal responsibility and transparency will be seen throughout those guidelines.
