Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the Canadian press revealed how generous the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans is when it comes to pleasing his friends with money provided by Canadian taxpayers.
My question is for the fisheries minister. Can the minister explain to us how someone can work for four months in his office, quit his job voluntarily and pocket a bonus of $31,000, then be rehired by the minister in the same office at an annual salary of $93,000, without having to pay back even a cent of his severance pay? How?
