Minister, other countries have understood that you can't have companies taking COVID funds and then engaging in issuing dividends, stock buybacks or executive bonuses. In fact, other countries are taking action against these practices.
A number of journalists have been attempting to get information from this government about where the COVID funds have gone. Over $80 billion as yet has not been transparently accounted for. The journalists who are asking questions, like CBC and like newspapers, are not getting the answers.
What are you going to do about these practices that clearly contravene what Canadians would see as an appropriate use of COVID funds? Why is the government stonewalling on getting this information to the Canadian public?
