Mr. Speaker, the expenditures of the Minister of the Economic Development Agency of Canada for the Regions of Quebec are raising more and more questions.
Given that everything has to go through his office and that he is the one making all the decisions, we have questions about some of these expenditures.
Between September 5 and 8, the minister toured six cities in Quebec to make the same announcement. The only changes made in the announcement were the dates and places. For the same period, CED approved a bill from Bearskin Airlines in Thunder Bay in the amount of $41,822.
Could the minister tell this House what the total cost of his six-city tour to make the same announcement in Quebec was?
