Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Prime Minister.
Canadians have no tolerance for governments that conduct public business behind closed doors.
First we had a backroom deal and an unprecedented use of cabinet powers to benefit Power Corp. and the Desmarais family. Now we have the makings of a backroom deal to benefit Seagram and the Bronfman family. It is this type of thing that undermines Canadians' confidence in their elected officials.
Will the Prime Minister admit that his Minister of Canadian Heritage has committed yet another grave error in judgment by meeting with Edgar Bronfman prior to Seagram's takeover of MCA?
