Mr. Speaker, considering that no one on that side knows what has been signed, the applause seems to be a little premature.
My question is for the Minister of Human Resources Development. The Duhaime debacle raises troubling questions about the minister's transitional jobs fund. The minister gave thousands of dollars under that program to the man who, purely by coincidence we are asked to believe, took a money-losing hotel off the Prime Minister's hands.
I ask the minister to tell the House how he made the decision to gift Yvon Duhaime with $164,000 and report on how this money was spent.
