Mr. Speaker, every time the government finds itself in a bind or has its integrity questioned, it calls for a police investigation and that is the last we hear of it.
Members will remember the scandals at Human Resources Development Canada that were in the headlines just before the last election campaign, and that we have not heard of since then, Conili Star, Planta Dei Pharma, Confections Saint-Élie. We never hear a thing about them any more.
Does a police investigation into Groupaction not really mean that the government will stop answering questions, and that the whole issue will be buried so deep that we will never hear about it again? There needs to be a public inquiry.
