Mr. Speaker, Bernard Dussault expressed himself very clearly as well on August 24 when he wrote a letter to senior government officials expressing his deep concern over the loss of Dynacan.

Was this government afraid that the chief actuary would reveal too much about the flawed future of Canada's social programs? Was the chief actuary with his competence, his independence, his objectivity, just too dangerous to keep around?
