Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Industry has accused the opposition of focusing on personality because we cannot criticize the process.
Let us look at the process. We have seen an unprecedented use of cabinet power. We have seen secret meetings and unlimited access being given to a favoured few.
Whether we look at Pearson, direct to home satellite or the Seagram takeover, the major players are all the same: Desmarais, John Rae, Bronfman, Rabinovitch and Goldenberg. The family compact indeed is alive and well.
How can this government reassure Canadians that Investment Canada's decision will be free from political influence?
