Mr. Speaker, let us get this straight. The Conservatives have set up a $20 million slush fund so that unnamed businesses can get secret loans without any public accountability. The problem with these sweetheart deals is that we are talking about taxpayers' dollars. This is not some Conservative pork fund to give out from the back of the car.
Have they not learned their lesson? This is how boondoggles are born. Where is the commitment to public transparency for taxpayers' money?
