Mr. Speaker, this is simply not true. A letter did refer to the fact that a secretary had destroyed some documents. Do these documents no longer exist? No, these are handwritten notes she had taken down and later typed and filed. They still exist. It is only a typewritten draft that was destroyed.
I should also point out to the hon. member that these false accusations fly in the face of the outstanding job the space agency's chairman did for the Government of Canada with the agency, which is located in the hon. member's riding.
