Mr. Speaker, we can also ask questions here in this place. The minister's silence speaks volumes. By contrast, the Minister of Finance was not afraid to answer from his seat. With the President of the Privy Council, who attended the June 10, 2002 meeting, there are the only two ministers who are still here. Unless they both spoke at once. Since the minister is refusing to answer, it may be that she is hiding something.
I am asking the President of the Privy Council if it was him who, on June 10, 2002, defended the firms that were friends of the Liberal Party. We know that the Minister of Finance rose to the challenge and was not afraid to answer. Now, I am putting the question to the President of the Privy Council.
