Mr. Speaker, would this be the same auditor general whose reports have been ignored by the government for years?
Yesterday all opposition parties joined in calling for a public inquiry into the HRDC scandal in which billions of dollars in grants and contributions were handed out with a cavalier disregard for the interests of the taxpayer.
The minister's answer that she knows where every penny went is patently incorrect, as the 19 police investigations clearly show. Why will the minister not set up an independent inquiry so we can fully find out where the billions have gone?
