Mr. Speaker, let me remind him that the kettle is calling the pot black. The member for Calgary Centre said he was unaware of the grant, but this cannot be true. In 2007, the member was advised by the ethics commissioner that he should contact her in the event of future government contracts. Small and medium size enterprises are crying foul, and rightly so.
Can the government, in this blatant conflict of interest, explain why there is funding for one well placed Conservative insider, but nothing for thousands of Canadians who have lost their jobs?
