Madam Speaker, I was on the industry committee, so I heard the testimony of Annette Verschuren. She refused to answer any basic questions. I also heard the testimony of former industry minister Mr. Bains, who, I believe, now works for Rogers Communications. They were indifferent about the cost of living crisis that is impacting Canada. The government seems to only care about one thing: protecting Liberal friends and insiders from their duty to serve Canadians. Time and time again, we have asked and pleaded with the government to come clean with Canadians about its corruption and criminal activity as it relates to the $400 million in the SDTC, or green slush fund. The Liberals refuse to do so because they are afraid of accountability and are hiding behind a cloak of false constitutional arguments to protect their friends and insiders.
