Mr. Chairman, obviously all of us want to ensure that these matters are dealt with completely. I have only had a week and a day to get to know my new officials but I have no doubt that they are endeavouring in every way to be open, transparent and forthright. They very much want to be associated with program successes that are a credit to the department, to the government and to all Canadians. I believe they will do their very best to be completely forthcoming with the committee.
If some legal impediment stands in the way, I do not know of it. If there is one, I would be happy to look at it and see if there is a way it can be removed. My view at the moment, based on my very brief association with my very good officials, is that they will co-operate in every way to deal with the issues that are outstanding and improve things for the future.
