Mr. Speaker, with all the investigations into the Prime Minister's riding, it is a good thing the minister is not criticizing the RCMP.
There were allegations of a kickback of $250,000 being paid to Louis Freedman, a golfing buddy of the Prime Minister's, in return for his obtaining a $1.6 million transitional jobs fund grant for PLI Environmental in Sydney, Nova Scotia. The RCMP were investigating this as of July 27, 1999, a full 28 months ago.
Could the solicitor general tell us whether or not this lengthy investigation by the RCMP has been completed?
