Mr. Speaker, another contradiction cropped up yesterday in the Grand-Mère golf club and Auberge Grand-Mère affair.
The Prime Minister claimed in this House that he had not read the September 1999 agreement until last week. Yet when the ethics counsellor—or the so-called ethics counsellor—testified before the standing committee on industry, his reply to my question as to whether the Prime Minister was directly involved in the negotiation was “Oh yes, he was directly involved in the negotiation”.
I would like to know whom we are to believe, the Prime Minister who tells us he was not aware, or the ethics counsellor who says “Oh yes, he was directly involved in the negotiation”.
