Mr. Speaker, just a reminder that the minister is responsible, no one else. He is the minister. He takes the last hit on it.
We already know about two of Mr. MacPhie's finance contracts, one for $122,000 and another for $25,000. We also know there was a third contract for work on a tax credit scheme, originally for $7,500 but ballooned to $20,000. That is more than $160,000 in untendered contracts to this Conservative crony.
Why should taxpayers be on the hook for the minister's political debts?
