Mr. Speaker, here is why controversy is swirling around the Prime Minister. A Quebec fundraiser is convicted of influence peddling for using grants to get donations to the Liberal Party. Convicted criminals and self-confessed embezzlers get millions in grants and the Prime Minister's own representative is being investigated by the RCMP. Now we find that the Prime Minister himself is closely connected to friends with big government contracts, big land deals and big campaign donations to the Liberal Party.
Why can the Prime Minister not see there is something sick in Shawinigan?
