Mr. Speaker, the saga of the sale of the B.C. retirement homes to mysterious Chinese investors is getting murkier.
We know the Prime Minister was approached at a cash-for-access fundraiser regarding this deal. Yesterday, the Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development had to stand in the House and apologize for misleading Canadians regarding the true ownership. Twenty operating licences were issued in one week. Clearly the fix was in.
One of the residents phoned me and said she was very worried about this issue and how it would affect vulnerable seniors.
Again, will the minister finally show some respect and tell these seniors who owns their home?
