Mr. Speaker, last month, the government pushed for the creation of a special committee to study all COVID-19-related spending.
Since then we have learned that $371 million was awarded to just one man for medical gowns for twice the price, a man who was selling protein drinks out of his basement, not medical supplies. We also learned that the government had given $237 million, which is $100 million too much, to former MP Frank Baylis, who just a year ago was still a Liberal MP.
Can the Prime Minister explain to us why he does not want us to have this committee to study COVID-19 spending?
