Madam Speaker, the Liberal member loves to go back in time, so I too will go back in time and reiterate that the Minister of Environment was the in-house lobbyist for 10 years for a company that conveniently was appointed as one of the first investors on the SDTC board. That same company received $114 million, and a director invested in it. What a coincidence it is that this insider's investment has since tripled.
If the member wants to go back in time and pick random things, why does he not look at the historical record of his colleague, the Minister of Environment, and his vested interests. It is not a coincidence that companies with a connection to the government have tripled in value. Maybe they were good investments, but when insiders are appointed to a board that can hand out money and that breaks conflict of interest rules, that is an issue.
The Liberals can continue to obfuscate all they want, but this is a matter they cannot hide from. Canadians deserve better, and they deserve to know where their $400 million went.
