Mr. Speaker, I find these allegations just as troubling. I share the member's concern.
We have been informed orally by the president of the foundation in question that there was no Health Canada money used for those purposes. Notwithstanding, I have asked the deputy minister to carry out a forensic audit.
I can tell the member and I can tell the House that if it is found that any public money was used for these purposes we will demand its return.
