Mr. Speaker, there are disturbing discrepancies in the HRD minister's story about the TJF reserve.
She says that the half a million dollars that went to her riding from this TJF reserve helped create badly needed jobs in Brantford. But the Brant HRD regional office says that no applicants, hard-pressed or otherwise, ever came forward. So the money was never used to create jobs.
Who is telling the truth here, the minister or the HRD department?
