Mr. Speaker, on top of the administrative boondoggle, there have been a number of partisan deals going on, involving friends of the government.
We have learned from Mr. Vallerand that the person at the centre of the CITEC affair is Paul Lemire, a person who has been found guilty of tax evasion.
Is the minister going to again deny the evidence that, on top of the administrative boondoggles going on within her department, it is also rife with partisan bias, particularly in the riding of Saint-Maurice?
