Mr. Speaker, considering the minister does not even know where Perth—Middlesex is, he is a fine one to make those comments.
The last time the Prime Minister was in hot water over inappropriate loans to the Auberge Grand-Mère, a judge authorized officials to search the home of the BDC president and to seize and destroy any documents related to the financial file of the Auberge Grand-Mère; to search and destroy the evidence.
Now it has been revealed that documents related to the Grand-Mère Inn have indeed gone missing, this time from BDC headquarters. They are missing and presumed destroyed, and the RCMP did not even bother reporting the loss during its application for a search warrant.
Is the government finally convinced that this sordid affair deserves a full independent investigation or will it leave that--
