Mr. Speaker, that was not the question. That has been raised. All of the money was given to this group, which earned interest on the money and then passed it on to the events.
In other words, it made money with public funds in the form of the interest that it was paid by the banks where it put this money.
How is it that the government never noticed this, that it allowed this system to continue, even after 2000, when we were told here that all of the standards were verified?
This was admitted by senior officials in committee. I expect the minister is aware of what his officials are saying, or will he do like the other ministers and hide behind his officials in order to hide the truth?
