Mr. Speaker, let me be clear on a number of issues.
When I reviewed the report of the auditor general I spoke to him directly and said: "Are you concerned about the integrity of my department?" He said to me: "No, I am not". When I spoke to my deputy minister and asked him if we have a right to be concerned about the integrity of the Department of National Revenue, he said: "No, we do not". When the chair of the finance committee spoke to the auditor general and to the assistant auditor general about this issue he received this response: "There is no evidence of wrongdoing or interference in the decision making process here".
Yesterday the hon. member for Capilano-Howe Sound said: "In spite of serious efforts on my part, in no case could I discover any evidence of wrongdoing".
Mr. Speaker, our government does not engage in any kind of witch hunts. If the hon. member has proof that he has not yet made public, please ask him to do so.
