Mr. Speaker, that was pathetic.
The Elections Canada database shows that a top Liberal organizer and Mr. Chrétien's golfing buddy and his wife donated over $10,000 to the former Prime Minister's 2000 election campaign and also contributed to the Liberal Party of Canada.
Let us see how this works. Corriveau prints all the signs and pamphlets for the Liberal Party for the 1997 election, has trouble getting paid by the party but somehow out of the blue lands a lucrative sponsorship program for millions of taxpayers' dollars. Then Corriveau donates money back to the Liberal Party. What a sweet deal. This damning information should have been before the Canadian public before the election.
