Mr. Speaker, it was not a bill about child trafficking; it was about the exploitation of minors.
The CINAR affair is one of the largest financial scandals in Canadian history. Taxpayers and thousands of shareholders were taken to the cleaners. Although CINAR admitted to committing fraud against Telefilm in a document filed with the Court of Appeal, the Conservative government is refusing to lay charges.
How can the government claim to be going after white-collar crimes when it refuses to take action against people who admit to fraud?
