  • Watch
Mr. Speaker, after nine years of the NDP-Liberal government, the employment minister has been caught in shady lobbying, and we can see that the Prime Minister and his government certainly are not worth the cost or the corruption. The minister was caught cashing cheques from a lobbying firm that was lobbying his own government, his own ministry. How much taxpayer cash did this minister and his company shove in their pockets? How much was it? Some hon. members: Oh, oh!

Mr. Michael Cooper (St. Albert—Edmonton, CPC)
  • May/2/24 3:08:43 p.m.
  • Watch
Mr. Speaker, the minister has been on the take with taxpayers' money. The minister retains a 50% stake in a company that is engulfed in allegations of fraud, and the minister continues to receive payments from the lobbying firm that received $110 million in federal contracts. Will the minister finally have the guts to stand in his place and tell Canadians how much he pocketed off taxpayers?

  • Watch
Mr. Speaker, after nine years of the NDP-Liberal government, yet another Liberal minister is embroiled in an ethics scandal. The employment minister continued to serve as the director of a company that secured over $8 million in government contracts. His former lobbying firm got direct access to the Prime Minister's Office and the finance minister's office, everyone who has their hands on the purse strings. The Prime Minister is not worth the cost or the corruption. I have a simple question: How much did the minister or his companies receive since he has been in cabinet?
