Mr. Speaker, I apologize. I mean no offence, as I am sure the hon. member understands. However, I think that Canadian taxpayers have the right to know what is actually going on. The government's accounting methods are not correct. The auditor general has said so. We need to listen to what the auditor general says. It is his duty and it is the duty of all of us as parliamentarians to guard carefully the accounting and the expenditure of the money that Canadian taxpayers are forced to give to the government.
In the House of Commons on May 10th, 1999. See this statement in context.
