Mr. Speaker, on October 9, the President of the Treasury Board admitted to the House that he had discussed with Jacques Roy, at his Montreal office, the whole issue of information leaks and influence peddling.
On several occasions, the minister denied any involvement by his Montreal office. We now know that Jacques Roy, the minister's assistant, was indeed Pierre Corbeil's source of information.
Can the minister tell us when he was apprised of his employee's activities, under which mandate and authority his employee leaked the information to Pierre Corbeil, and why the minister omitted to inform the House? We want to hear the truth today.
