Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Finance should know that the reality is that the wealthiest got richer during the pandemic at the expense of struggling Canadians.
Marcel Bourassa, president and CEO of Savaria, received $3.4 million in dividends, and his company received $4.5 million in wage subsidies.
Alain Bédard, CEO of TFI International, paid $2.3 million in dividends to his executives, and his company received $25 million in public funds.
Why did the President of the Treasury Board authorize these payments to wealthy friends of the Liberal Party?
