Mr. Speaker, we have been told for a month that Rahim Jaffer did not have any privileged access to cabinet. And yet, one minister after another is coming forward.
A new series of documents clearly shows that the office of the former minister of public works pushed to have Mr. Jaffer's files given priority. I repeat: priority.
Staff were strongly encouraged to fast-track Mr. Jaffer's files.
I want the Minister of Natural Resources to tell us why.
