Mr. Speaker, violating the Lobbyists Registration Act is very serious and a conviction results in fines of up to $100,000 or two years in prison.

According to the minister, they have been in touch with the RCMP. What I would like to know is has the minister informed the RCMP that René Fugère lobbied for two hotels in the Prime Minister's riding? Did he tell the RCMP that he lobbied for HRDC for funds for a sawmill in the riding of Champlain?

What we would like to know is what information does the RCMP have and when can we expect an answer back?
