Mr. Speaker, that is unacceptable. I do not know how the minister could stand in this place and defend this deal.
This company gained notoriety claiming it had a $300 million deal with China after returning from a team Canada trade mission. It was given $2.5 million taxpayer dollars claiming it would store people's blood but it cannot show any clients. It became a public company on the strength of these assertions but they were not true.
Will the minister immediately investigate this shameful mismanagement of public funds?
