Mr. Speaker, it is pretty obvious that the minister does not want any investigation. Yet, it is a great concern to see that the trustee appointed by HRDC was also the lawyer for Claude Gauthier, the person who bought the company.
Is this a pure coincidence? Absolutely not. Between 1993 and 1997, Claude Gauthier also contributed $48,673 to the Liberal Party coffers.
Does the minister not think that she should immediately order an investigation, since this might also allow her not to have to reply to other embarrassing questions in the House?
