Mr. Speaker, in asking this question I would like to welcome the new Minister of National Defence to his challenging new portfolio.
In view of what would seem to be a convergence of scandal ridden portfolios, it has come to our attention that DND through the department of public works has commissioned Groupaction to undertake communications work for the armed forces.
Will the new Minister of National Defence confirm that Groupaction has been doing work for the Canadian military? What has been the total value of any such contracts? Will the minister get off to a good start in his new job by tabling any such contracts and the billing schedules of any such contracts?
