Mr. Speaker, there is a dark cloud of patronage abuse hanging over the government.
Tony Genco, the former senior advisor to the Minister of National Defence, received a soft landing as the president and CEO of Downsview Park Inc. Downsview Park Inc. manages land owned by the Department of National Defence and, yes, the park happens to be in the riding of the Minister of the National Defence.
My question is for the Minister of National Defence. Besides being a loyal Liberal and a friend of the minister, what are Mr. Genco's qualifications to be the president and CEO of a crown corporation?
