Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Justice and concerns the Airbus affair.
On Thursday past, in response to a question from the member for Fraser Valley East, the minister stated categorically: "I take responsibility for the Department of Justice. From the outset the Department of Justice has acted in an appropriate manner".
Since the minister maintains that justice officials, including Kimberley Prost, acted in an entirely appropriate fashion, will he instruct his lawyers not to make an out of court deal with Brian Mulroney and not to spend millions of taxpayer dollars?
