Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Industry has been aware of the abuse of his department's aboriginal business development programs and specifically the role played by Mr. Henry Wetelainen, president of the Ontario Metis and Aboriginal Association, based in Sault Ste. Marie.
This individual has misappropriated millions of dollars of taxpayers' money, most of it on companies which are now bankrupt or inactive.
In June the minister promised to investigate and act. Why has he failed to clear up this misappropriation of funds?
