Mr. Speaker, let me be very clear.
When allegations were brought to the Prime Minister's attention from a third party, he immediately did the right thing. The government forwarded those allegations on to the relevant authorities, including the RCMP, so it could make the determination as to what should be done with them.
That demonstrated a high ethical standard. None of the allegations that were brought forward to the Prime Minister had anything to do with government business.
Let me be clear. None of the proposals that came forward to my department were recommended for funding, and they certainly did not get any.
