Mr. Chairman, it seems the minister is purposely avoiding making a commitment to voluntarily disclose information. He is talking about collaboration and co-operation with other agencies. I hope the minister has directed his officials to go through the files, take a look at everything in which the name Groupaction shows up and ask whether it is legitimate, proper, and has received the appropriate approvals. If something is not legitimate I hope he would voluntarily disclose the information. I hope he would not wait for the auditor general to try to find it or for the RCMP to launch a criminal investigation.
However let us move on. A lot of this has to do with advertising. The Prime Minister said it is better to waste a few million dollars on illegalities than to lose the province of Quebec. I do not believe that for a minute, but let us find out how much advertising is going to Quebec and how much is going elsewhere. What is the total advertising budget of the Government of Canada, and what is the breakdown by province?
