Mr. Speaker, the Auditor General's reports, including the one on McKinsey, do much more than outline specific problems. It is all of the Prime Minister's work that we are talking about here. These reports depict a government that has no qualms about breaking its own rules, a government that has no qualms about ethics, and a government whose consistent negligence gave rise to a culture of carelessness and waste of public funds. In her report on McKinsey, the Auditor General calls it a common problem. How do we fix this common problem when it is ultimately simply the result of the Prime Minister's leadership style?

Mr. Speaker, in my speech, I never said the government had taken no steps. In my speech, I said that there was negligence and complacency. In short, the alarm has been sounding for months. The government should realize that what is in place is not working. The 70 meetings that the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs held made it clear what steps needed to be taken. It still took the government a long time to come up with to the bill we are discussing, which does not go far enough, to be honest. My colleague is right. The government did take steps. However, what it did is clearly insufficient, and it is shameful for us internationally.
