Madam Speaker, those are blatant conflicts of interest, and I alluded to this earlier. When any auditor, never mind the Auditor General of Canada, takes a random sample and finds that 82% of it has a conflict of interest, any normal person would wonder, “What if we did a full, complete forensic audit?” That is vitally important here.
What we are seeing is a pattern of behaviour, a pattern of conflict and a pattern of insider dealing, and as a taxpayer, and on behalf of taxpayers and my constituents, many of whom are start-up owners and entrepreneurs, I know we cannot allow this to continue. Their hard-earned money should not be going to insiders. It should not be going to a government that picks winners and is only picking its friends. That is not good for our country. It is also not good for the start-up environment and the alleged green industry that the government claims to care about.
