UPDATE: Circling the wagons... again
All calls to government ministries seeking comment on Saturday were referred to Craig Sumi, a spokesman for the Ministry of Government Services. He would not say how many employees are involved or whether any of them have been temporarily suspended during the investigation.

Mr. Sumi, would say only that "a few ministries" are part of the investigation.
Well... that's a relief.

It's not all of them, right Craig?
