Mr. Speaker, this is not about punishment. This is about maintaining the confidence of the people of Canada. The hon. member himself well knows that sometimes it is best to change responsibilities when one's credibility has been affected.
With the actions that the Prime Minister has indicated we will take, in his speech last Thursday, and with the efforts that the minister of public works and his predecessor have taken to deal with issues that have been raised, the confidence of the Canadian people will be maintained.
