Mr. Speaker, following the comments by the member for Saint-Hyacinthe—Bagot concerning the number of days we unfortunately have had repeated and frequent leaks, I would like to mention that on every occasion the government House leader rose and joined members from other parties in condemning these outrageous leaks we have witnessed, particularly these past few weeks. It is a real hemorrhage.
With regard to the serious problem affecting every one of us working here in a climate of mutual respect, dignity and honour, we are ready, Mr. Speaker, to cooperate with you and members from the other parties in the House to solve it.
I share the concerns expressed by the member for Saint-Hyacinthe—Bagot concerning these leaks. However, I would not go as far as accusing any particular member. I am not familiar enough with the issue to make such accusations, but I met briefly with the chairman of the Standing Committee on Finance, who agrees with us and finds this unacceptable.
It is really more than unfortunate. It is totally unacceptable that we find ourselves in this situation once more today. I think we have to commit ourselves to finding a solution to this problem as soon as we come back after the winter recess.
