Mr. Speaker, I will try again since we are not getting answers to the question.
Canadian taxpayers deserve to know why would Yvon Duhaime, a guy with a criminal record, poor credit, a bad tax history and a failing business be able to get his hands on almost $900,000 in government loans and grants.
Duhaime's Grand'Mère hotel had an excessive debt, was not paying its bills and did not have an accountant or a budgeting system when he applied for federal money. For some reason the Prime Minister's staff took an active interest in this project.
My question is for the Prime Minister. Do all dubious characters get $900,000 in grants and loans?
