Mr. Speaker, first, we have said that the guidelines Treasury Board has for issuing contracts were respected in the matter of which the hon. member complains.

The hon. member should at least wait until the ethics counsellor has had a chance to review it and to give his report to the Prime Minister.
In the House of Commons on October 7th, 2002. See this statement in context.
