Mr. Speaker, firms that are cozy with the Liberal party are being awarded contracts for which they are being paid commissions twice over. Lost reports are being paid for twice, the same report is being used three times, rather than once, and yesterday in Toronto, even the Deputy Prime Minister said that the Prime Minister's behaviour in the Business Development Bank of Canada affair had offended Canadians.
Does the Prime Minister not think that all of the necessary ingredients have finally come together to warrant an independent public inquiry?
