Mr. Speaker, the minister of public works hired the Golden West Document Shredding company in Burnaby to shred 22,000 boxes of confidential information. This included very personal information on Canadian families, including tax files and secret RCMP police files. Golden West Document Shredding did not shred the documents. In fact, it sold them to a private company for profit.
Can the minister tell this House how many Canadian families had their private files sold to the highest bidder?
