Mr. Speaker, I will answer the minister’s question for him if he will not bother to do so.
Under no circumstances do these companies deserve any taxpayer money, let alone $17 million. They are being investigated by the RCMP. They did no work for the government, and nobody seems to be able to explain how they got the contract. It is $17 million for these guys but food banks for two million Canadians. That is what we get after eight years of these guys.
How does anyone over there defend this scandal?
