Mr. Speaker, I can remember seeing the Minister of Finance more comfortable than he is today. If anyone was attacked, it is the auditor general, yesterday. The members opposite are having a hard time dealing with the substance.
I ask the Minister of Finance why he is taking cover behind something which is said to have occurred in 1991, on December 23, around 11 p.m., just before Christmas, when everyone is partying. Some hard-working public servants can come and find a little hole to slip $2 billion through. This still goes on every day, and the hole is not being plugged from the other side.
The auditor general called for an end to it. Why not take action? Why not follow up on the auditor general's recommendation? Who are you protecting?
