We investigate numerically the finite-size scaling properties of the domain-wall energies in the three-dimensional gauge glass model. From the analysis of results obtained for systems of linear sizes 3<~L<~8 we conclude that the stiffness exponent of the model is positive. This implies the existence of a stable ordered phase at low but finite temperatures.
