Mr. Speaker, in 1993 the Montreal accounting firm of Raymond, Chabot, Martin and Paré gave $6,000 to the Liberal Party of Canada. In 1994 it gave $5,000, in 1995 it gave $4,000 and then in 1996 it gave $86,000 to the Liberal Party. In that same year it received $20 million in contracts from CIDA.
My question for the government is this. Is it just a happy coincidence that the firm that donated $87,000 to the Liberal Party of Canada also got $20 million in CIDA contracts?
