Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to pursue my questioning on the topic of the Power Corporation with the Minister responsible for this. Mr. Speaker, I have been listening to the questions and answers in this area and the lack of humility and sense of responsibility on the part of the Minister is truly alarming, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, I understand that we have a consensus system and we do not have a party system. Cabinet Ministers are given more freedom than in any other system, but at the same time, Mr. Speaker, if we are going to have a government, we need to have a Minister that understands the Cabinet direction and follows the direction.

Mr. Speaker, so far what we have is the former chairman of the board who says that he had informed the Minister and had been working on this application for a whole year. That was back in June. Then he got a direction from the Cabinet saying that Cabinet does not approve a one-rate zone and the Minister did not understand this. Cabinet had to rewrite this, reiterate this, and Mr. Kakfwi yesterday stated that. The advice, the direction that he gave is on page 2185:

We thought it was clear in August. Our staff thought that it was clear. Just to be doubly sure we revisited the decision and made it explicitly clear. The direction was given, the staff looked at the August decision and legal people looked at it and they said the direction was clear.

So unless the Cabinet is totally stupid, or unless Mr. Stewart is totally stupid, someone is not doing his job. Would the Minister not be accountable for that, Mr. Speaker?
