Mr. Speaker, in February 2002, Mr. Maharaj indicated in his letter to the Prime Minister that funds from the sponsorship program had been diverted for partisan reasons through communications firms associated with the Liberal Party of Canada.
Will the minister admit that the letter is quite clear about the extent of the sponsorship scandal and that, as a result, his Prime Minister knew about it since February 2002 at least, but he did nothing? So much for confidence.
