Mr. Speaker, what the minister failed to add on to this company's resumé is that it also has strong ties to the Liberal Party through one of the Prime Minister's golfing chums, Mr. Louis Friedman.
In addition, Techlink has been involved in a three year RCMP investigation for influence peddling in Nova Scotia. Now comes the news that Techlink International has received a $2.7 million grant.
Can the Minister of Industry explain why a company, above all others in Nova Scotia, should receive multiple grants from ACOA with its criminal allegation and clear ties to the Liberal Party?
