Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Prime Minister,
Yvon Duhaime, the man who bought the hotel in Grand'Mére from the Prime Minister and his partners, received a federal grant of $164,000 and a federal loan for $650,000. At a meeting where these applications were reviewed, a senior aide to the Prime Minister was in attendance.
This is a clear violation of clause 7 of the conflict of interest code for public office holders.
Can the Prime Minister explain to us why an aide from his office was at that meeting in violation of the code?
