Government Contracts
Mr. Ed Komarnicki (Souris—Moose Mountain, CPC):
Mr. Speaker, my question is for the transport minister. The question he was asked was not whether he attended a dinner as a paid lobbyist. The question was, did the Minister of Transport arrange a meeting with a cabinet minister or former cabinet minister and François Duffar or not? Yes or no?

Hon. John Godfrey (Minister of State (Infrastructure and Communities), Lib.): Mr. Speaker, the minister answered two questions very clearly on that point. If the member opposite is not satisfied with the answer the minister gave, he can direct those inquiries to the registrar of lobbyists. The registrar of lobbyists administers the Lobbyists Registration Act in a completely independent manner. His reports are made public.

If the member opposite wishes to pursue the matter further, he should address his complaints to the registrar of lobbyists.
