Madam Speaker, the member dodged the question the first two times, so let us give him a third time. The Minister of Employment and his business partner, Stephen Anderson, have refused to co-operate with an investigation into their fraud-ridden company. For months, this minister claimed that he had no communication, that he was not the one referenced in the text, and that he had nothing to do with his former business partner. Finally, after relentless pressure, the minister admitted he did text his business partner and he even called him to discuss their business, which is something he is prohibited from doing by law. Why did the minister, who claimed he had nothing to hide for months, hide this damning evidence?
