Mr. Speaker, we know the facts about the firing of Bernard Dussault. Mr. Dussault complained of being muzzled by the finance minister's information police. He was asked twice by John Palmer to change numbers in the CPP report because they would embarrass the minister. He complained of being stripped of his Dynacan computer program which was necessary to make accurate projections about the CPP.
I ask the Prime Minister: Was Bernard Dussault fired simply because he would not manipulate information for the political purposes of the finance minister?
