All right.
I'm talking about Michel Octeau, who owns Tango Communication Marketing, as well as Alexandre Brault, who is the son of Jean Brault. These names, if you do a little Google search, Madam Minister, will take you back some 20 years in time, to the time of the sponsorship scandal. These were people who were very involved in the Liberal Party of Canada, in a scandalous program that almost wiped out the Liberal Party of Canada in the 2006 election.
Now, what I want to understand is how a company owned by individuals connected to the sponsorship scandal was able to so easily gain access to a contract and receive $81 million in advance from the Government of Canada for masks and equipment that were completely unusable because of their poor quality. I already know that the Government of Canada has filed a lawsuit. It's mind-boggling to see the details of this case and how Canadian taxpayers have been had by this organization.
Did anyone give you a briefing when the names of Michel Octeau and Alexandre Brault, son of Jean Brault, came up for consideration?
