Mr. Speaker, as my colleague knows, the Minister of Public Services and Procurement, the President of the Treasury Board and I, as the minister responsible for the Canada Border Services Agency, have already taken steps to reduce reliance on outside consultants. We have reviewed and changed the process for approving these kinds of contracts. We will continue to look at everything necessary to ensure that taxpayers' money is well spent. The people who are responsible for these decisions know they will be held accountable in the case of misuse or abuse.

Mr. Speaker, I hope the government holds itself accountable. The arrive scam merely scratches the surface of the rot and corruption in the NDP-Liberal government. Its procurement system is seriously flawed and broken. For example, it paid KPMG, a consulting company, almost 700,000 taxpayer dollars to learn how to cut back on consultants. One cannot make up this lunacy. It has learned nothing. The question is simple: In the budget next week, will we see a cut to all of the corruption?
