Mr. Speaker, I do not judge anyone who is the subject of an allegation. I know the Auditor General has undertaken a full review and there will be a complete report not only on Groupaction, which she mentioned specifically, but on all the sponsorship files.
As the current Minister of Public Works and Government Services has clearly stated to the House and has in fact done, matters have been referred where there are any allegations of wrongdoing. In addition initiatives have been taken to recover moneys that were overpaid. If there were administrative problems, corrective action has been taken. That is responsible action, and that is exactly what has happened.
I have nothing personal against the member but her comments have pre-judged everybody in this place because she was unable to give one example of an illegal act that anybody in cabinet or a member of Parliament have been accused of, never mind being convicted. I believe the presumption of honesty and the premise of innocent until proven guilty have to be respected in this place.
