Mr. Speaker, the government is trying to cover its tracks as the stench of corruption wafts around a well-connected lobbyist's role in a $9 million construction contract.
Yesterday, the government House leader tried to snow the media when he claimed that Gilles Varin did not have any involvement in the “new Conservative Party”. Again today, he is at it.
Well, the Conservative Party knew Varin well enough to cash his big donation cheques in 2007 and 2009.
Why is the Prime Minister's Office trying to mislead Canadians about the Varin connection? What else are the Conservatives covering up?
