Mr. Speaker, in 1995 the government's open bidding system tendered a $600,000 contract for the Canada investments and savings advertising campaign which was overseen by the Department of Finance. Although DJC Research had the lowest bid, the contract was split in half and a $300,000 contract was instead given to Ekos “in order to satisfy the wishes of finance”. Surprise, Earnscliffe was part of the Ekos team.
Why does the Prime Minister not admit that he funnelled the $300,000 rigged contract through Ekos to pay off his buddies at Earnscliffe?
