Mr. Speaker, clearly this is just the tip of the iceberg. When we have in a government a culture of gross mismanagement which is ignored, which is then covered up, which is then denied and minimized, then there is something very wrong in the whole administration of the government. This cannot be an isolated case because the Prime Minister himself is defending this course of inaction and negligence.
I believe that if Canadians knew all the truth and had full disclosure about how grants and contributions have been mismanaged by the government and how the departments across the board have been mismanaged, there would be a huge outpouring of outrage. We need to get to the bottom of this. There has to be independent audits and examinations now of how the government administers our affairs because the questions have been raised and the signals that the government is not doing a good job for us are too strong to ignore any longer.
