Mr. Speaker, I am happy to see that the Minister of National Defence is out of the penalty box.
Mr. Speaker, the minister responsible for conflicts of interest, the member for Mégantic—L'Érable, was in charge of Public Works at the time. The Auditor General's report clearly establishes that he did not exercise due diligence in the procurement of military equipment.
How can the current Minister of Public Works monitor the integrity of the procurement process when her department has been blamed by the Auditor General?
