Mr. Speaker, an internal audit done in 1997 by Consulting and Audit Canada has confirmed what the Bloc Quebecois' analysis clearly showed- political pressure was brought to bear on the administrative staff of Human Resources Development Canada in order to speed up the grant approval process.

Can we draw the following conclusion?
The administrative staff of Human Resources Development Canada failed in their goal of increasing the grant signoff turn around time.

Options are:
 -Yes.
 -It's impossible to say.
 -No.
