Mr. Speaker, what was hidden remains hidden.
It was further to a motion by the Bloc Québécois at the Standing Committee on Public Accounts that the Auditor General began her investigation into the contract granted arbitrarily to Royal Lepage. The Prime Minister’s director of communications, Sandra Buckler, is supposed to have done some lobbying for this same company when Royal Lepage contacted some members of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts so that this motion would not to be adopted.
Whose interests is the government trying to defend? Those of the taxpayers or those of the Prime Minister’s Director of Communications?
