Mr. Speaker, the Minister for International Trade has said that the EDC is a very fine institution. Let us see what a fine institution it really is. China's Three Gorges Dam is built on an earthquake fault line. It was shunned for funding by both the U.S. government and the World Bank.
What happened? The EDC stepped in and funded the Three Gorges Dam, despite serious environmental, corruption and economic charges.
Why is the government using taxpayers' money to support a dam that is an environmental disaster?
