Mr. Speaker, the minister really thought I was putting my question to the Minister of Human Resources Development. Perhaps he did not understand what I was asking.
On average, 15% of the Export Development Corporation's budget, or more than $100 million annually, is earmarked for bad loans. There are two separate accounts: the EDC account, for all sorts of uses, and the Canada account, which comes directly from the government, directly out of taxpayers' pockets, for more problematic situations.
My question is this: did the money for the loan to Amtrak in the Bombardier project come from the Canada account or the EDC account?
