Mr. Speaker, the member for Simcoe—Grey will be pleased to learn she has a friend over in the NDP.
This is what happened. Serious allegations were made to the Prime Minister about a member of the government. The Prime Minister did not have the context to know whether they were true or untrue, but they were serious enough that he did the right thing. He turned the entire matter over to an independent authority, so it could make a determination whether an investigation was warranted. It could investigate the matter and ensure that the rule of law was followed in this country.
Let me remind members that none of the issues in question that the Prime Minister referred to the independent authority had anything to do with the conduct of government business.
