Mr. Speaker, indeed this is very serious and I want to say to the House very clearly that the position of my department, formally and informally, in writing and verbally, is that the law will be obeyed.
Let me continue to quote from the formal directive of February 16 that states:
It should be clear and apparent on the file what changes have been made to the file and the date the change was made.
If the hon. member has proof which would suggest that this is not being done, I would very much appreciate him bringing it forward because I will act on it very aggressively.
