Madam Speaker, I am pleased to see that the Reform member shares our view on this matter. We rarely agree, but on the subject of the government's responsibility regarding this iniquity, we share the same opinion. For the record, though, I would like to say that the Auditor General released his report on May 7, but that this was part of the Bloc Quebecois' electoral platform in 1993 and that, by chance, we reached the same conclusions. Of course, when the Auditor General tabled his report, we agreed with it.
I want to give the Bloc Quebecois credit for this because it had already identified the problem. The fact that the Auditor General confirmed this, put us in agreement. We too have criticized the accountability of the government, which continues to hide behind committees that, until now, have been pretty phoney.
