MPs want to know who's in charge of the up to $1-billion dollar renovations to the West Block building on the Hill, and are asking questions about the entire $5-billion, 25-year Parliament building project.
The RCMP is investigating a $9-million West Block contract awarded to stonemasonry firm LM Sauvé that hired a Tory supporter to help in its dealings with the federal government.
In light of the news, the Government Operations Committee has initiated a study into the way construction contracts are tendered at Public Works.
"I expect that when we have senior officials before the committee to talk about this, they will more clearly answer for us, I hope, who specifically was at the head of this process," said Liberal MP Geoff Regan (Halifax West, N.S.), his party's Public Works critic.
