The foundation did not live up to its contribution agreement with the Department of Innovation, Science and Economic Development. We have to make sure that the foundation does indeed have funds that were not—I mean, if the government recovers the money with its own funds, we are starting all over from scratch.
I understand that the businesses' eligibility or lack thereof has to be determined, but the fact remains that decisions were made. Despite the fact that some companies were not eligible, Sustainable Development Technology Canada still decided to enter into a contribution agreement with them. If a company did not comply with the contribution agreement it entered into with the foundation, that's another matter. We often hear that funds were recovered. I agree, but I think if you hired a lawyer, they'd establish within two minutes that SDTC's mistake was to enter into a contribution agreement before determining whether or not a company was eligible. So it's not the company's fault. It's SDTC's fault. If the company lived up to its agreement with SDTC, why should they have to pay back the funds?
