Mr. Speaker, I wonder if the member can explain to the House, if this accelerator fund was such a failure, why it was that the members for Lambton—Kent—Middlesex, Simcoe North, Fundy Royal and others asked for funds for their communities from it. If they believed that it was a failure, does that mean that they knowingly asked for money from a program that they knew was a failure?
In the House of Commons on October 30th, 2024. See this statement in context.
