Mr. Speaker, I remind the hon. member that the auditor general was invited to review particular contracts that arose as a result of internal audits. I remind him that the responsibility of the auditor general is to review operations of government. We have demonstrated a willingness to see those reports followed up rapidly and we have demonstrated our co-operation with her. I do not understand why the member would want to duplicate the work that is already being done by the auditor general in her existing office.
In the House of Commons on May 27th, 2002. See this statement in context.
