Mr. Speaker, the backroom family connections continue. Investment Canada has confirmed the assistant deputy minister for cultural affairs in the department of heritage is directly responsible for the Seagram file. Surprise, surprise.
He has family ties to the Bronfmans. He is Victor Rabinovitch, the brother of Robert Rabinovitch, who wrote the DTH satellite directive that benefits Power Corp and who works for the Bronfmans.
Why is the minister allowing this sensitive issue to be handled by an individual who is in direct conflict of interest and whose family stands to benefit from the decisions?
