Mr. Speaker, the minister is a very courteous man, who also has some good friends.
Speaking of good friends, we know that one of his friends, Mr. Schwartz, is no amateur when it comes to finance. There is no way he would have spent all that money, time and energy promoting his offer over a two month period if he had not had the promise, or guarantees, which boils down to the same thing, that the legislation would be amended in his favour.
Will the minister finally admit that he and his officials opened the door to Onex, failing which Mr. Schwartz would never have gone ahead with his offer?
