Mr. Speaker, responsible government requires that governments, when they find something has gone wrong, act quickly and appropriately to deal with it. It is not by jumping to conclusions and firing people without the evidence, but by setting up processes, forensic audits, internal audits, references to the Auditor General, setting up public inquiries, referring matters to the public accounts committee and hiring special counsel to go after finances that have gone astray.
