Mr. Speaker, first let me congratulate the hon. member upon his promotion to the role of official critic for public works. I welcome him to that role.
On the substance of the question, our approach over the past 15 months has been to put first things first, moving steadily forward, step by step. We want to make sure that nothing interferes with the appropriate independent investigations of both the RCMP and the Auditor General. We have encouraged and co-operated with both those investigations and obviously the action taken recently by the police indicates the wisdom of that approach.
