Minister, my time is limited, and perhaps you're not answering my question because the answer is an embarrassing one for the government, and the answer is yes.
An official from ISED, for example, is quoted in a December 23, 2024, article in The Globe and Mail indicating that CoreWeave had been brought into the process and that the $240-million handout was made because your government saw it as an opportunity to act quickly. In other words, your government was more concerned with holding a press conference to look good rather than ensuring that a quarter of a billion taxpayer dollars would stay in Canada. Isn't that right?
