Mr. Speaker, for those who are following the debate, I think it is important to recognize that SDTC was, in fact, an arm's-length organization there to support Canadian industry in a very environmentally friendly way. Annette Verschuren was the chair of that board, and she was someone who was actually appointed to Stephen Harper's economic advisory council during 2008 and was an adviser to Brian Mulroney.
There is no doubt that something has gone wrong. That is the reason why the government took swift action upon learning about it, to the degree that two independent audits were done on it. We are supporting the Auditor General. There has been a freeze on the funding. The board has been replaced. The government has taken action on the issue. For the Conservatives to label it as corruption and tie it to the Liberal Party is just wrong.
Part of the problem is that the Conservatives continue to spread misinformation to try to get wedge issues at the cost of what I would suggest was an organization, not the board but the organization, that did so much for Canadians from coast to coast to coast.
