Mr. Speaker, what is outrageous is that the Liberal member responsible for P.E.I. will stand up for Liberals but will not stand in the House and answer questions.
Liberal Party president Tim Banks has been a huge beneficiary of the Liberal government. In addition to the sweetheart deal for the Greenwich development and the Confederation projects, from 1997 to 2000 one company under his umbrella, Atlantic Store Decor, has raked in over $2.5 million in grants and contributions from HRDC and ACOA.
The Premier of Prince Edward Island encourages legitimate development, and I agree, but is Tim Banks the only developer on the Island? How much more Liberal largesse granted by the Solicitor General has to be exposed before the Prime Minister sacks this minister?
