Mr. Speaker, the minister may think this is a big yuk, but I can assure you that Canadians do not.
We have a treasury board document that also advised the minister, “One cannot create a trust fund within the CRF”, that means public money, “nor can one try to get around it through a shell game by using a so-called trustee”. That is exactly what her department did in the Prime Minister's riding. An act of parliament was violated but what did the minister do? She just shrugged and said “Oh, that was inappropriate”.
Did the minister turn a blind eye because this was in the Prime Minister's riding?
