Mr. Speaker, the minister talks about rubbish. Let us look at a little of this rubbish, shall we?
Companies that get CIDA contracts are 70 times more likely to have donated money to the Liberals than other companies. Rubbish? It was the minister's own personal friend Marc Lalonde who stick handled this deal right through the goal. Is that rubbish? I do not think so.
If political donations have absolutely nothing to do with government grants, let the minister tell us why the Liberals get 70% of the contracts for CIDA. Is it just a heck of a coincidence or is it rubbish?
