Mr. Speaker, that is twice now that the Minister of National Defence has not answered my questions directly. I will give him a third chance.
With respect to the selection of the Auditor General, yesterday his colleague said that they had chosen this candidate for the position because he was the most meritorious, despite the fact that the government itself insisted that the candidate should be bilingual.
Is the position of the government that there was no candidate who was both meritorious and bilingual?
