Mr. Speaker, problems with Human Resources Development Canada are nothing new. On the eve of the June, 1997, election, a man by the name of Pierre Corbeil received from the minister who has now left, the former member for Hull—Aylmer, a list of people who would get significant amounts of money.
Pierre came first and he asked for a ransom, in cash, please. We do not know whether all the funds he received went directly to the Liberal Party of Canada or if some got lost in his car along the way but, nevertheless, it was seven months before the RCMP were able to bring charges against him and before he recognize his wrongdoing. But nothing was done within the department.
This is almost like Douglas Young, the guy from New Brunswick. He got his punishment. I would like my colleague to finish this story.
