Canada Development Corporation  . This is not true and this is backed up by all the inquiries made into this matter. The hon. member ought to take another look at the premise of his question.

Immigration  Mr. Speaker, I believe that the premises in the question of the hon. member must be rejected categorically. The underlying premises are false, since the minister has categorically denied having intervened in the case of Gaetano Amodeo either directly or indirectly. It is his

Public Works And Government Services  Mr. Speaker, first, the hon. member's premise about Mr. Harder is totally wrong. Mr. Harder has been promoted to another senior deputy minister's position.

Grants and Contributions  Mr. Speaker, the hon. member's premise is totally wrong and the innuendo is wrong. He has not been propping up his pals.
