Mr. Speaker, cabinet documents made public today are imploding the Prime Minister's explanation that he really had nothing to do with this and did not know what was going on with the sponsorship program.
The documents show that the Treasury Board approved an additional $40 million on top of what was already its set budget for the sponsorship program seven months after an internal audit found that there were all kinds of scandalous problems within the program.
Why was the $40 million approved by the Treasury Board after it was known that there was a problem with this program?
