Mr. Speaker, we have always fully supported the auditor general. It is the Liberal government that only uses his words when it suits its needs.
It does not matter how many points there are in the minister's plan. As long as the very first point is political interference the plan is doomed to failure. With the Shawinigan fountain king staying on as leader, HRDC has no hope of fixing itself.
The minister and her predecessors have been warned for years that HRDC was rife with waste and they chose to do nothing about it.
Why should Canadians believe that the patronage and the political meddling is about to stop?
