Mr. Speaker, I have never seen a case where $400 million of taxpayer money went to ineligible recipients with direct conflicts of interest to members who sit on the board, who, by the way, are friends of the government and former employers of the Minister of Environment. I have never seen so much grift in my entire experience as a member of Parliament, which is only a few years. This $400 million is not $20 or nine dollars' worth of orange juice or $90,000 of expenses that was paid and was actually reimbursed to the taxpayer. It is $400 million and these individuals are not interested in finding out the answers.
In the House of Commons on November 4th, 2024. See this statement in context.
