Mr. Speaker, I am still looking for the connection the government seems to see between job creation and examining political views of business leaders. The document we are tabling today contains an analysis, an assessment of the likelihood of influencing members of the Kruger family. That is going a bit too far and has no connection with jobs.
In the same secret document prepared by Industry Canada, we read, and I quote:
"The threat of cutting support for world class industrial facilities such as Pratt and Whitney, Spar Aerospace, and Canadian Marconi might bring reaction and support for the federalist cause".
How can the leader of the government keep denying that Operation Unity is actually blackmailing companies like Spar by threatening to cut off federal subsidies for research and development unless they speak out on behalf of the No side?
