Mr. Speaker, among those working close to the Prime Minister, Terrie O'Leary, his former chief of staff, intervened in the selection of advertising agencies, as did Ms. Castelli, his riding assistant, who intervened with the office of Alfonso Gagliano on behalf of Serge Savard and the Internationaux du Sport de Montréal to have a negative decision overturned.
How can the Prime Minister say that he does not engage in this kind of politics, when two of his very close assistants have intervened directly in matters?
