Mr. Speaker, it is intimidation, pure and simple. In this corner of the House we are not going to stand for it.
That is terrible. The President of the Treasury Board is taking his revenge by attempting to silence the only public servant that can effectively protect taxpayers' money against more sponsorship scandals. The Auditor General is asking for independent funding.
Will the President of the Treasury Board stop these acts of vengeance against the Auditor General and establish today this independent funding?
