Mr. Speaker, this disregard for taxpayers is ridiculous.
Let me make this very simple. The multiculturalism minister took donations to his campaign, turned around and paid his own company for invoices. He takes tax deductible donations, which he benefits from, pays his own company, which he benefits from, and then receives a taxpayer subsidized rebate from Elections Canada, which he benefits from.
Could the minister tell taxpayers why they should have to pay rebates for election expenses that were paid to his own companies?
