Mr. Speaker, the House should be aware of what the opposition is asking.
A situation had arisen under the previous government and in 1991 the auditor general reported on it. As in other instances, this government takes very seriously the reports of the auditor general. We have said we believe that the Canadian people are entitled to have all of the facts. We think this should be looked at openly in the finance committee.
What is the finance critic for the Bloc Quebecois saying? He is saying: Do it behind closed doors. Do not do it in front of us. Do not let the Canadian people have the facts. Do not sit there in open, public debate to take a look at it. What is the matter? Are you afraid of the truth?
