Mr. Speaker, we are talking about this SDTC scandal and nearly $400 million of taxpayer funds corruptly directed to companies and the board members, all appointed by the Liberal minister at the time, profited directly. These were companies they controlled or were actively participating in. We are talking about $290 million. It is an incredible amount of money. We could have axed the carbon tax for a lot of residents in Alberta for that price, or in Ontario, in his riding of Kenora, for years. They would have netted out more money. We could have built some homes by reducing the GST on new builds under a million bucks. We could have fixed more of the budget by reducing the deficit. We could have stopped some crime, including the crime of obtaining a brand-new passport after being ordered by a court not to have one. These Liberals allowed a known convicted human trafficker to get a brand-new passport from passport Canada despite the fact that a court had ordered he not have one.
Which one of those four options does the member think his constituents would have preferred instead of giving it to Liberal crooks?
