Mr. Speaker, what the parliamentary secretary is really saying is the returns were too good, so they want to clamp down on them.
Just to draw the contrast, yesterday the government said that it would deduct any improper payments from the severance it wanted to pay the Prime Minister's friend David Dingwall. We know that David Dingwall already improperly received $350,000 from Technology Partnerships.
Will the Prime Minister assure us that he will deduct that $350,000 from any payment to David Dingwall?
