Mr. Speaker, this latest contract scandal involving the Minister of Public Works and Government Services and a criminal friend is not the first time that he has seen negative headlines across the country.
I will quote from a few which said: “Minister’s crony gets contract”; “Minister under ethics probe”; “Minister's pal gets big-bucks contracts”; and “contract awarded to shady friend”.
We have had all this and much more in only two short years. With this latest scandal involving the minister, how can Canadians have confidence in him?
