Mr. Speaker, the problem is that the Prime Minister did know all about this.
On the one hand, we have the auditors saying that some companies were set up largely to defraud the government and, on the other hand, we have the Prime Minister going to bat for those same companies, companies with which he is associated, which are in his campaign literature and which were supporters of his campaign.
Why does the Prime Minister not just admit that the problem is not a misguided government program or even sloppy public servants, the problem is the ethics of the Prime Minister?
