Mr. Speaker, Mr. Fugère first popped up four days before the last election, announcing a big grant in the Prime Minister's riding before that grant had ever been approved. Since then he has been directly connected with at least four other grants of public money. He is under RCMP investigation for unregistered lobbying. Now we find that with his appointment to the board, another company magically receives a transfusion backed by the taxpayer.
Will the government please explain to Canadians why their money is anted up so promptly for this friend of the Prime Minister?
