Mr. Speaker, Canadians want answers. All we are getting today is misdirection and spin from the minister.
The fact is the minister did not pay. His family paid. His family did not pay until two months after the fact, after the opposition and the media asked questions.
Why will the minister not come clean about what really happened, tell us whether or not the agreement of $800 happened before he went there and answer some real questions in the House or resign? Will he do one of the two?
