Mr. Speaker, we have now learned that the Minister of Public Works and Government Services is going to rewrite government contracting rules.
His plan ignores the recommendations of the Gomery report on the Liberals' sponsorship scandal.
I would have asked this of the minister, but I see Mr. Fortier is still sitting unelected in the Senate. Therefore, I ask the parliamentary secretary, can he confirm it is the government's intention to ignore the Gomery report?
