Mr. Speaker, I would like to answer this question.
First of all, it is the opposition that asked that we refer this matter to the auditor general. Second, if there were a commission that lasted two years, we could be here in the House refusing to answer.
We are not afraid to answer. We welcome the opposition's questions. We do not want to wash our hands of it, create a commission for two years, and then say “We will see”.
We are able to face our problems right away. We are not hiding. We are here in the House of Commons answering all of the questions everyday.
