It's Thursday afternoon. We moved a motion on Monday with respect to the question of a conflict of interest raised by the finance minister. He said that he couldn't participate in matters related to Alto because of his relationship with a senior executive there. After moving a motion calling for the commissioner, the minister and the CEO to come to committee, we saw a filibuster that went on for more than 12 hours, led by the Liberals.
I'm going to give the opportunity to do the right thing, again. I'm going to seek unanimous consent, Chair, for this motion:
That the committee undertake a study into the connection between the Minister of Finance and National Revenue and Alto, and the minister's claims that he has recused himself from decisions his government made related to Alto; and that, for the purpose of this study, the committee invite the following witnesses to appear by May 8, 2026:
1. Konrad von Finckenstein, Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner, for two hours;
2. executives from Alto, including CEO Martin Imbleau, for two hours; and
3. the Minister of Finance and National Revenue, for two hours.
