Mr. Speaker, for more than a year now the official opposition has been raising concerns about the grant and contribution process at Human Resources Development Canada. Yesterday the minister said:
With reference to the transitional jobs fund, I have answered numerous questions in the House...If the hon. member checks Hansard he will see that I was also forthcoming about the administrative problems with that program.
I suggest that the minister has a strange definition of forthcoming. However, since she was told of these problems months ago, why did she do nothing to address them until we exposed her billion dollar bungle?
