Madam Chairman, again the hon. gentleman seems to be ignoring the multi-layered approach that we are taking to deal with this problem. We have referred matters to the RCMP. The auditor general is conducting a government wide audit with respect to advertising and sponsorships. The President of the Treasury Board is reviewing the management framework and the government system with respect to advertising sponsorships and polling. My own department is conducting its own internal review. We are pursuing this issue on all fronts to make sure that no stone is left unturned.
Where there is conduct that does not live up to government standards, that conduct will be remedied. If it goes beyond simply mismanagement or mistakes, if it borders upon that which requires legal proceedings, then the appropriate references to the appropriate authorities will be taken. The proof of that is that we have already made those references.
