Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister justified swiftly dumping the former defence minister by saying he could not give contracts to his friends. Obviously it pays to be a political ally of the Prime Minister. The former solicitor general did exactly that. He awarded a $140,000 contract to a friend, and yet the Prime Minister stands in the House and defends the former solicitor general.
What is the difference between what the former defence minister did and what the former solicitor general did?
