Mr. Speaker, for the last month the Prime Minister has been running from questions about a $600,000 grant he announced in his own riding just prior to the last election.
He ducked the question about how he could know about this grant before bureaucrats had even seen a business plan for it. He avoided answering questions by getting his human resources minister to pretend that this happens all the time. However, here are the facts: The Prime Minister announced the $600,000 grant on the eve of an election in his own riding before it had proper governmental approval.
Why did the Prime Minister announce this grant three weeks before the bureaucrats had even seen the business plan?
