Mr. Speaker, I appreciate that answer.
Yesterday the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration contended that Liberal IRB appointments are made on the basis of merit and competence, yet we know that department has been a dumping ground for Liberals.
Yves Bourbonnais, who is at the centre of this corruption investigation and a Liberal appointment, was a disbarred lawyer convicted of committing fraud against the government.
Can the Deputy Prime Minister tell us, is that the sort of confidence Canadians can expect from the government's appointments?
