Mr. Speaker, if I may pick up on the last couple of words the member said, and that is the issue of due diligence.
The Auditor General has expressed a great deal of concern with regard to retailers in the north. The department has no real genuine sense of whether the savings through the nutrition north program that consumers should be experiencing are actually being realized. In other words, are retailers taking advantage of the program at the cost of the consumer?
I wonder if he might want to comment on that. This is not something the Liberal Party is saying. The Auditor General of Canada is saying it.
