Mr. Speaker, every Canadian knows that the minister actually began to address the problem two days after receiving an access to information request to release the audit.
Let us consider the HRD minister's, by now, infamous six point plan that will supposedly clean up her mess. She stumbled, she stammered and she stifled, and then she stalled and stuttered before stonewalling. If she had spent more time addressing the problems and less time with her image consultant, perhaps taxpayers would take her plan seriously.
If the minister was serious about cleaning up her own department, why did she have to get caught before she did something about it?
