Mr. Speaker, whenever we ask the Minister of Human Resources Development about Placeteco, she justifies the $1.2 million grant by referring to Techni-Paint.
However, in the secret contract signed by the National Bank, Claude Gauthier and Mr. Giguère, clause 6.1.2 provides that Techni-Paint waives any rights to the grant, up to an amount of $1.11 million.
How can the minister base her statements on Techni-Paint when a clause proves beyond any doubt that the grant went exclusively to Placeteco?
