Mr. Speaker, maybe I should be asking what is their definition of a patronage appointment. It seems they are on a bit of a roll.
First, Robert Fung hired the Prime Minister when the Prime Minister was looking for work. That is fine, except that in return the Prime Minister appointed Mr. Fung first to the team Canada advisory board and now to the Export Development Corporation with a healthy retainer. It is starting to sound like déja vu.
Given the recent record, how many more announcements can we expect where the Prime Minister simply appoints his former employers to plum patronage positions?
