Mr. Speaker, the process in the Seagram deal stinks to high heaven.
The ADM for heritage responsible for the file is linked to the Bronfmans through family ties. Investment Canada has confirmed that Rabinovitch's people have contacted it on the issue. This is a blatant conflict of interest.
Why does the Minister of Canadian Heritage fail to see that his department's continued contacts with industry officials and with the Bronfmans jeopardize the integrity of the process and of the Liberal government?
