Mr. Speaker, in the ridings of Kenora—Rainy River and Saint-Maurice there is a strange correlation between campaign donations and the allocation of grants and contributions.
The HRD minister has stood up in the House time and again and stated that there is no interference in the approval process. Yet 33% of the people who contributed to the Prime Minister's political campaign got money from the government in the form of grants and contributions.
How can the HRD minister explain this sleight of hand, or should I say coincidence, to the Canadian taxpayer who finances her spending schemes?
