Madam Speaker, indeed, the Auditor General protects the best interests of Canadians. However, if we read clause 2(3), we can see that she may also act as joint auditor, which means that if the work has been done, she can simply approve it.
However, my feeling—and I hope I am totally wrong—is that when a bill is presented by the Bloc Québécois, the governing party does not look at it, does not read it. They immediately think, “If this bill is presented by the crypto-separatists, it must be bad”.
I hope I am wrong on this. I am convinced that the hon. member is intellectually above thinking that because a bill comes from the Bloc Québécois it is automatically bad.
