Mr. Speaker, as mentioned by our hon. colleague, the President of the Treasury Board, we tabled the Federal Accountability Act, an extremely important piece of legislation that followed up on the recommendations of Justice Gomery. Furthermore, the remaining recommendations will follow in due course.
We were told that we had 24 months to react. What did Justice Gomery have to say? He said:
I believe that, in the long term, public servants have a greater awareness of the devastating consequences of not following the rules.
That is exactly what we are doing and I hope that the Senate will pass this bill.
