Mr. Speaker, with all due respect, while we respect Canadians’ intelligence, this government clearly does not.
The SNC-Lavalin boss never said that jobs were at risk. However, the Prime Minister, his aide Gerald Butts and the Clerk of the Privy Council, who stepped down on Monday, I would remind the House, said on several occasions that was the case.
We now know that that part of the story was completely fabricated to try to justify their abuse of power towards the former attorney general and towards Canadians.
When will the Prime Minister stop the cover-up?
