Mr. Speaker, it is not only us who are asking questions about the Port of Montreal file, both the RCMP and the Quebec Provincial Police are officially investigating influence peddling, including Dimitri Soudas, former chief of communications for the Prime Minister.
If we listen to the records, we will hear talk of payoffs to Conservative senators and threats to members of the Montreal ports administration.
Did the Conservatives officially play a role in those nominations, and what was it?
