Mr. Speaker, what happened to all the missing millions at the Department of National Defence? Why is there no public inquiry into the amounts of money greater than that which was defrauded from taxpayers from the sponsorship program?
So far, no charges have been laid. Only one person has been identified in that scandal and that person, the government claims, single-handedly masterminded this fraud and now is living in the Caribbean. I am informed that he is being sued by the computer company Hewlett-Packard, which got stuck with the bill for this, and DND for $100 million. That is $46 million to $68 million less than what the government tells us was stolen. Who got the $46 million to $68 million that is not in the lawsuit? Only a public inquiry with full disclosure similar to the Gomery commission inquiry into government corruption will provide those answers.
I look forward to a government announcement of a public inquiry into what is behind the missing millions of dollars from the Department of National Defence.
