Mr. Speaker, things are pretty shady in Shawinigan. Yvon Duhaime bought the Grand-Mère Inn from the Prime Minister in 1993. He did not reveal his criminal convictions of drunk driving and assault when he received over $850,000 of taxpayer money in 1997 to expand his inn.
We now learn that a huge amount of this taxpayer money went directly into Duhaime's bank account when by law it is required to go to a notary.
I am sure there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for this. What is it?
