Mr. Speaker, the member for Nepean said he was concerned with conflicts of interest and is disappointed. I would say that is putting it mildly because we are talking here about 186 conflicts of interest involving board members, in which $330 million improperly went out the door, much of it funnelled into board members' companies. The Minister of Industry knew about it or had to have known about it, given the fact that an assistant deputy minister sat in on each and every board meeting when these conflicts occurred.
What does the member say about the minister's responsibility and, frankly, his complicity in the corruption at the green slush fund? If one were to listen to the member's remarks, one would be under the impression this was some distant arm's-length foundation, when nothing could be further from the truth.
