Madam Speaker, when my hon. colleague said that it must be something really bad, it got me to thinking. I had a constituent who came, very meekly, about something he wanted to get off his chest. He was a consultant and successful in obtaining a multi-million dollar grant from the government. It was his job to read through the contract, and in reading through the contract, part of the requirement was that 20% of the grant had to go to a business that the government specified for unspecified services. Now, my constituent smelled something very bad, and for all he knew, that business that was getting the 20% cut could be sending it back to the government. He actually said he wanted nothing to do with the grant after all the work that he did to get it.
My question to my colleague is: Is it possible that some of this really bad stuff that the Liberals do not want us to see has to do with kickbacks to the government, or maybe the minister himself?
