Mr. Speaker, as I have said before and I believe I have made plain before, ministers on this side of the House will appear before either the public accounts committee or the public inquiry if we are requested to do so. At that point the hon. member can be reassured that all of us will be forthcoming. All of us on this side of the House want to get to the bottom of this matter, just as do all Canadians.
In the House of Commons on February 23rd, 2004. See this statement in context.
