Mr. Speaker, the Auditor General's report on the Liberal green slush fund is shocking. Liberal cronies overseeing the slush fund voted 186 times to send taxpayer money to companies they own. That represents over 40% of the projects approved. Even worse is that the Liberal swindlers gave themselves $76 million and hid their conflict from the meetings. The rot started from the top when, in 2019, the Liberals knowingly appointed a person whom the green slush fund was already doing business with to head up the board. They were warned, but they appointed their conflicted cronies anyway. Tonight, Liberals have a chance to come clean. The former Liberal minister and PMO staffers responsible for hand-picking these slush fund swindlers will testify before committee to explain why they knowingly appointed Liberals with conflicts and did nothing when they funnelled themselves taxpayer money. As Canadians struggle to pay the bills, Liberal cronies get rich on taxpayer money. Only common-sense Conservatives will stop the Liberal corruption and bring back common sense to Ottawa.
