Mr. Speaker, the minister likes to quote transcripts. Let me quote transcripts from yesterday's HRDC meeting. The president of the employees' union on questioning said:
Have you ever received any comments from staff from any office in Canada of this directive by HRDC to fill out forms, to fill out these files that were empty and backdate them? Have you ever received this information?
The answer was:
Mr. Chair, we have got similar directions and the answer is yes.
This is a very serious accusation. Could the minister shed some light on these accusations?
