Mr. Speaker, we have known for some time that the Liberal Party has always benefited from technology partnerships loans. When it gave $87 million to Bombardier, Bombardier dutifully coughed up $411,000 back in political campaign contributions. We did not realize that individual Liberals were benefiting from technology partnerships loans.
Will the Minister of Industry confirm that the company under the ownership and direction of the member for LaSalle--Émard received a $4.9 million technology partnerships loan? More important, did he ever pay it back?
