Mr. Speaker, as was reported in the media this morning, the government's solution to this bureaucratic bungling, this whole scandal that has plagued the House since last summer, seems to be following a recommendation to split this ministry into three, to in fact increase the size of government and to spend more money as opposed to going to the root of the problem and finding the cause. Some people have called it a rescue mission for the minister. It comes back to the Prime Minister's comments on accountability where he made a commitment in 1991 to hold ministers accountable, which clearly is not being done.
It now appears that the government is on a rescue mission for the minister. It is going to spend more money and create two more ministries. It has been suggested that this idea was put forward by the Prime Minister and advocated by some of his backbenchers who hope to get one of the new positions.
Would the member make some comments with respect to what we read in media this morning about the creation of two new ministries?
