Mr. Speaker, on Monday of this week the Minister of International Trade told this House that his government had little to do with the $1.5 billion contract of Candu reactors and the loan guarantee.
Now we learn that there has been a letter released that quotes David Dodge, the former deputy minister of finance, as saying that there were negotiations between finance and EDC for months to put this deal together.
Will the minister now admit that the cabinet knew full well the extent of this deal and ultimately had to sign it before it could be approved?
