Mr. Speaker, we reject categorically the insinuations of the hon. member that the rules were bent and that there was political influence.
The rules were followed as far as I am aware and the conditions and circumstances are proper on this occasion.
What shows the lack of credibility of the member is that he did not say one word about the sole source purchase of the submarines. What are the differences? Why is he complaining about that? Why is he against 5,000 jobs for western Canada, 90% of them, and thousands of jobs all across the country because of this project?
