Mr. Speaker, first, I want to thank the hon. member for his question, because he has done an outstanding job in the community of the national capital region.
Now I want to inform him that the policy made public yesterday allows employees with initiative to take over many government services. Those are services they know well, services in which they have become competent and services that they can better deliver for the benefit of taxpayers.
In order to make the process fair and equitable, we have appointed an independent group to review all the proposals to ensure that contracts are awarded to those best able to serve the public. Finally, should action be taken against employees, I would encourage the hon. member to advise the minister concerned right away so that he can take the necessary corrective action.
