Mr. Speaker, one businessman told the Charbonneau commission that he had used false names to finance political parties, and we also know that some people whose names appear on the list of Conservative Party donors in 2009 categorically deny having donated even a penny. And yet, they are listed as giving $1,000 each. That looks a lot like straw men. That year, the Conservative association in Laurier—Sainte-Marie raised $288,000.
Can the government explain this situation and tell us whether a straw man system was in use?
