Madam Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his question.
First, the hon. member suggested we were going after the provinces and territories. As I indicated in my speech very clearly, we are reviewing the auditor general's report. It is a complex issue and no decision has been made. It would therefore be premature for the hon. member to come to a conclusion we in the government have not reached.
We are not going after anyone. We are reviewing. We have been up front with the provinces and territories. We have provided them the information. We have released the auditor general's report not only to the provinces and territories but to Canadians as a whole. An assumption has been made regarding a conclusion which has not been reached.
As far as Industry Canada is concerned, I am sure the hon. member can appreciate that I do not have the information in my hands. I appreciate the comments he has made. He may find it helpful to direct the question in writing to the appropriate individual, probably the minister. Otherwise I cannot comment on it.
It is critical that the information on the overpayment be available in the public domain so people can look at the four reports. As I mentioned, there are four reports and they are very complex. We want to make sure that when we come to a decision we do so in the interest of all Canadians.
