The resignation of the chief state procurement officer, Mr. Paul Quinn, from the board of the national children's hospital is just one more in a long line of incidents that have raised questions about the integrity and credibility of the entire oversight process related to this project. It is well known that myself and my colleagues in the Rural Independent Group put two motions before the House to have this project halted and immediately reassessed. Unfortunately, both efforts were rejected by the House as a result of the confidence and supply agreement.
