Mr. Speaker, a limited and random sample was taken by the auditor general in four departments of the government involving less than 400 people.
There were some statistics as a result of that, but I am very happy to report that 86 per cent of public servants felt the ethics standards were very high. The auditor general said that when it comes to comparisons with other governments or with the private sector there is nobody that surpasses the ethics standards of the Government of Canada.
