Mr. Speaker, the independent report revealed that multiple board members voted to funnel money from the fund to companies they had an interest in. This is scandalous. In the face of evidence of self-dealing and corruption, the minister has not seen fit to fire anyone. Why? Which Liberal insiders is he protecting?

Hon. François-Philippe Champagne (Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, Lib.)

  • Watch
Mr. Speaker, what is scandalous is the Conservatives making claims and allegations against people. What a responsible government does when there are allegations is investigate. That is exactly what we did. We suspended the financing of the organization. The CEO has resigned. We have accepted the resignation of the chair. We are going to get to the bottom of this. We are going to continue to help companies in this country. We will invest in green technologies.
