Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from St. Albert—Edmonton for his great speech and the work the committee has been doing on this matter. It is very important. I appreciate the words he spoke this morning.
One of the things that struck me repeatedly was when he said the Prime Minister has an obligation to Canadians and to the credibility of this House to deal with those who have been found in contempt, dealing in corruption or any sort of thing that would bring the government into disrepute.
I would like to ask the member if he can identify a reason in his mind as to why the Prime Minister has been hesitant, reluctant or just negligent in dealing with the minister.
