Mr. Speaker, let us take a look at some of what the Auditor General found. We can draw some conclusions, of course, about whose pockets that money went into.
The Auditor General found that for 10 ineligible projects, it was $58,748,613, and in 90 cases where conflict of interest policies were not followed, it was $75,974. For projects without ensuring that contribution agreement terms were met, it was $58 million. Another 96 cases, where conflict of interest policies were followed, was $259 million. The numbers do not lie when we look at the corruption that was allowed to fester under the Liberals.
We have to ask ourselves what was in it for them. What was in it for the Liberals and their friends? Of course, it was their financial betterment, their personal enrichment. This was all about helping Liberal insiders while Canadians have been struggling to feed themselves. It is a shameful legacy, but it is one that, as the member rightly pointed out, follows on the heels of the $60-million arrive scam or the $1-billion WE scandal and, of course, the other cases where the Prime Minister was found to be outside of the law or to have broken the law, just like the long history that includes the ad scam, of course.
I think that goes to the heart of it. The reason the Liberals do not want any sunlight or disinfectant to be applied here is because the last time there was a massive scandal of this scale, it brought down a Liberal government, a tired, corrupt Liberal government. What is old is new again. It looks like they have the very same concerns about this multiple-hundred-million dollar scandal.
