Mr. Speaker, the statement by the member for South Shore is not accurate. I will tell the House why, and I made that comment in my speech. A senior public servant, if he or she is ever asked to do something by a political master that is not right and is against the Financial Administration Act, that deputy minister has the right to report to the Clerk of the Privy Council.
In the House of Commons on June 6th, 2002. See this statement in context.
