Mr. Speaker, likely the file is sitting right on top of his desk with his fingerprints all over it.
René Fugère is under RCMP investigation. He is an unpaid aide to the Prime Minister. He is a close personal friend of the Prime Minister. Gilles Champagne is a two-time political appointee. He set up an illegal trust fund. He is a Liberal Party fundraiser and he is a close friend to the Prime Minister.
These two show up at the international trade minister's doorstep and they get instant access to millions of dollars. How can he possibly explain this scandal?
