Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Human Resources Development said that she had delegated her signing authority to her Deputy Minister in order to not be in a conflict of interest position, that this was the method she had selected. She just said it again a moment ago.
I will ask her again: Did her predecessor do the same? I do not want her to repeat that she chose to do so; this, we know, as she has played the same tape over three or four times.
I would like to ask her very precisely if she can tell this House whether her predecessor also signed a letter delegating his contract signing authority to his deputy minister. I would like her to answer this question.
