Madam Speaker, medical assistance in dying is a very thorny issue. Each of us in the House has our own opinion on it. Yesterday, in the Les coulisses du pouvoir interview on Radio-Canada, he said that the nasty Conservatives on the religious right were against advance requests and were keeping the House from moving forward. I checked this morning with our House leader; that is not true at all. We have never objected to anything in that respect. Can the member apologize for his misleading statements to Radio-Canada?

Mr. Speaker, today we have seen the Auditor General's disastrous report on the ArriveCAN app, which confirmed an outrageous lack of oversight and transparency. According to his mandate letter, the former president of the Treasury Board was supposed to “raise the bar on openness, effectiveness and transparency in government.” The member for Québec's primary responsibility was to review expenditures related to contracts worth more than $60 million. Will the minister apologize to Canadians for having failed in his duties?

Mr. Speaker, I would like to remind the minister that he was the president of the Treasury Board of Canada. It was his responsibility to ensure that taxpayers' money was properly managed. I would also like to remind him that, during the pandemic, 23 businesses with no name received hundreds of millions of dollars in contracts. On the Government of Canada website, they were designated by the letters A, B, C, D and so on. I raised that problem in committee in 2021. Today, we have received confirmation of the “glaring disregard for basic management practices” with the ArriveCAN app. Will the former president of the Treasury Board admit that he failed in his duty to protect Canadian taxpayers' money?
