Mr. Speaker, there has been another revelation about the mother of all corporate welfare programs: Technology Partnerships Canada.
It was revealed today that the government has recovered less than one-fifth of its promised repayments and that after nine years has only recouped less than 5% of the $2 billion it has given to profitable, private sector companies.
Why has the government failed to recover the subsidies? When will the government stop wasting taxpayer dollars in this fashion?
