Mr. Speaker, Canadians have recently learned that the Liberal government provided a $206-million loan below market rate and nearly $150 million in subsidies to a wind farm in Nova Scotia linked closely to former Liberal MPs. Meanwhile, a similar project secured $240 million in private sector funding at no cost to the taxpayer. The difference between the two, of course, is the closeness to the Liberal government.
Why did the Liberals provide this sweetheart deal to their well-connected friends at the expense of Canadians?
