QUESTION PERIOD — Innovation, Science and Economic Development

Government leader, last week, in response to one of my questions about the Trudeau government’s green slush fund, you said, “As soon as the government found out about these allegations, Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada acted quickly.”
In fact, the Trudeau government’s utter incompetence led to this scandal in the first place, leader. The Auditor General’s report clearly states the department “. . . did not sufficiently assess and monitor . . .” how the Liberal insiders at this slush fund awarded funding from taxpayers.
Leader, will the Trudeau government respect the motion adopted by the House of Commons yesterday and deliver all the documents to the RCMP for investigation? Leader, yes or no?
Thank you for your question. The government, of course, is aware of the motion that was adopted. At this juncture, I’m not in a position to answer as to how the government will respond.
Unfortunately, you can never respond on behalf of the government you represent.
The Auditor General also stated that “the department did not monitor conflicts of interest at the foundation.” In fact, the Trudeau government was warned not to make one of their friends the chair because the slush fund was already doing business with her. Leader, they appointed her anyway, and she approved $217,000 to her own company. That’s corruption, leader, isn’t it?
No, I don’t agree with your description, but that person is no longer holding that function.
