Mr. Speaker, an odd reply from a minister from whom I requested an investigation into the sponsorship scandal. Here in this House, that minister told me such a thing was pointless, and accused me of lacking confidence in the Auditor General and the RCMP. That was what he said then, but now he has changed his tune.
He has misunderstood. I was not asking about the Prime Minister's contracts. I was talking about Option Canada, and the untraceable $4.8 million used illegally during the 1995 referendum. This was under the direction of Claude Dauphin, the present PM's right-hand man.
What is his comment on this? Will the Prime Minister admit that he was negligent here as well?
