Chair, it's a bit like Groundhog Day when it comes to this scandal with Randy Boissonnault. It continues to both get headlines and concern Canadians when it comes to our obligations and our mandate under the Conflict of Interest Act and the obligations of that minister to abide by it.
We've had appearances at this committee of the minister and his business partners, and the minister claimed he was not the person in question. It was another Randy. It wasn't him. Now, we have new WhatsApp messages from Stephen Anderson, from 2022. One says, “I just updated Felix and Randy.” We have another, which says, “I won't tell Shawna and Felix and Randy yet.”
Now, Mr. Anderson, the 50% business partner with Justin Trudeau's minister from Edmonton, Randy Boissonnault, claimed it was an autocorrect.
