Madam Chairman, I want first to congratulate the minister on his appointment and also on his endurance this evening. A daunting challenge lies ahead for him. There are three at bat and two have struck out.
Of concern is the 69% of Canadians who truly believe their government to be mismanaged, to have corruption in it, to have ethical problems, and they are looking for an ethical home run, but they doubt they are going to get it.
I would like the minister to tell us what he has done that is an improvement over what the last minister did, and let me repeat, the last minister, not the first of the three ministers. Could he tell us what he has done to change this perception, real or imagined, in this short time?
