I will stay on topic.
Witness testimony, such as Annette Verschuren's, said—which obviously MP Erskine-Smith hasn't read—that she “never applied”—she said it three times—for a single job in her life, including this job. Conveniently, afterwards she filled out the application after the minister called her twice to ask her to do the job, after former minister Bains refused to answer the question on even those phone calls or the content. Perhaps MP Erskine-Smith could do some of that reading.
Perhaps he could also do some reading about Andrée-Lise Méthot, whom former Liberal minister Bains, overseeing the green slush fund, appointed in 2016 to the board, whose companies got more than $100 million of green slush fund money while she was on the board.
Perhaps Mr. Erskine-Smith could read the testimony of previous witnesses, including the chair of the fund, who admitted that when Andrée-Lise Méthot was moved by the Liberals to the Infrastructure Bank board for a new appointment, the first thing she did was approve $170 million for the slush fund chair's company, NRStor, but that would require a little research. It would require research to find out that, in 2023, the natural resources department gave Ms. Verschuren's company $50 million. That's after the staff were employed at SDTC to find her company more money, since her company was rejected, finally, for SDTC money because of conflicts.
