Mr. Speaker, despite the fact that Mr. Legault, of the Montreal Grand Prix, remembers negotiating directly with the government, without any middleman, the Montreal Grand Prix event generated commissions of $108,000 in 1998; $52,000 in 1999; $45,000 in 2000; $60,000 in 2001; and $90,000 in 2002.
Does he not find $355,000 in commissions paid to middlemen who did nothing for an organization that negotiates directly with the government a bit steep?
