Mr. Speaker, I believe the hon. member for Bruce—Grey—Owen Sound is a veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces, so I thank him for his service.
I believe fully that ministers have lived up to their responsibilities to be accountable to Parliament during the period for the Canada student service grant. A number of ministers have made committee appearances. In reference to the Minister of National Defence, he also was a Canadian Armed Forces member and served the country in a number of instances. I commend him for his service to country.
This is how our system is supposed to work. Ministers are supposed to be accountable for the actions of their staff, and our government believes in that.
