Mr. Speaker, I want to return to the Auditor General's report and government mismanagement.
Last week the government denied suggestions of a billion dollar cost overrun in the firearms registry, yet the Auditor General says the government has known this for two years.
All of this sounds very familiar. The government denied the billion dollar boondoggle at HRDC, it is attempting to sweep the sponsorship scandals under the rug and it is headed toward a multi-billion dollar boondoggle on Kyoto.
My question is straightforward. What financial controls will the new finance minister put in place to end the mismanagement problems of his predecessor?
