Mr. Speaker, the minister committed to give surf clam quota to companies that partnered with multiple first nations, yet the Liberal company that actually got the contract did not have multiple first nations partners until after it was awarded a contract that was worth hundreds of millions of dollars. In fact, the company did not even exist until after the contract was awarded.
I am no pescatarian, but something is fishy here. Maritime politicians, the Mi'kmaq First Nation, and many others are asking if this is just a kickback for Liberal Party donors.
