Mr. Speaker, yesterday on the news even the Prime Minister mentioned he would be open to the idea of settling this out of court. He did not mention numbers, but I suppose he would agree even if it costs millions of dollars.
I think Canadian taxpayers are upset. The Minister is acting like Monte Hall: "Brian Mulroney, let's make a deal". I think that is unacceptable. Why did the minister and his department not get the facts straight before he risked millions of taxpayer dollars?
