Madam Speaker, I just want to say to the hon. member that it is quite obvious that I got through to the true intention of the Bloc Party in the House of Commons today when he turns around and makes a personal attack on me. My hide is thick. I can take that. But I can also dish it out.
I am going to say to him today that the Auditor General of Canada has always had the highest respect from the member for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke.
I have no hesitation in saying that it was this government which took the initiative. It was not the Bloc. Do not stand and say that the Bloc took the initiative. The Government of Canada took the initiative and referred the matter to the finance committee of the House of Commons and the finance committee brought in the report.
