Mr. Speaker, I guess he did not read the auditor general's report. It is at paragraph 8.19. The auditor general also said that Health Canada and Public Works and Government Services did not follow the government contracting rules and regulations when it spent over $25 million on the Canada Health network website. Although the website was developed, there was no assurance that the best value was received. The assets purchased were underused and over claims were made.
My question to the minister of public works is this. Why does he continue to stonewall and tell us that we are getting value for money when obviously the Canadian taxpayer is getting taken to the cleaners?
