Mr. Speaker, the story by the former Conservative prime minister, Brian Mulroney, is becoming less believable by the day.
Executives from Thyssen are now denying that Mulroney got the bags of cash to represent them. They say:
He never worked for Thyssen.
I cannot imagine how he could expect to sell something like this to Russia or even to China. It's absolute nonsense.
Does the government still believe this nonsense? Will it start a full public inquiry into the scandal today, or is it waiting for the election to sweep all of this under the rug?
