Mr. Speaker, there is a clear pattern here and it begins on the Prime Minister's doorstep.
A company does not qualify for taxpayers' money, but Liberals put political pressure on public servants to make the money flow. Now we learn that a former Liberal Party Quebec president and the former minister responsible for CIDA put the heat on departmental officials multiple times to approve the extra $1.3 million.
For the minister responsible for CIDA, why is the government pressuring the public service to get money for the Prime Minister's Liberal friends?
