Mr. Chairman, I thank the minister for his response but he would also know that the auditor general in her capacity has a very limited mandate to go far afield in probing these issues, as does the RCMP. It is limited, as the minister has correctly pointed out, to look for illegal actions as opposed to immoral or improper ones. A broad public inquiry is what is needed.
The Prime Minister stated in Winnipeg just the other night that perhaps millions were stolen. I would suggest that similarly he should be turning over any information that he might have, if he is aware that millions have been stolen. More to the point, what is being done to recover that money? Has that investigation been started to recover that money?
