Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Public Works and Government Services has got the wrong tape. That is not the question.
The decision to dismiss everyone was made well before the end of the work of the Gomery commission, as the Prime Minister even brags in an open letter to his Liberal friends.
So since he took decisive action against these senior managers before the end of the commission's proceedings, why then is he refusing to answer here, when the commission has still to complete its work?
