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.

Mr. Speaker, the AG's report proves again that the Prime Minister is not worth the cost or corruption. The report reveals massive corruption at the green slush fund, highlighting the misappropriation of $76 million through 90 cases of conflict of interest. The directors sat at a table and awarded millions of dollars to their friends and to their own business interests. All the while, more and more Canadians are hungry and homeless. The question is simple: What plan does the minister have to get that money back?

Mr. Speaker, the Auditor General's report proves that the Prime Minister is not worth the cost and corruption. Most of the government's $200 million in contracts with its friends at McKinsey broke the rules. The Liberals are tight with McKinsey. The former ambassador to China and head of the Prime Minister's economic advisory panel came from McKinsey. The policy director to the former minister of public services and procurement was also from McKinsey. The current government serves McKinsey consultants and scandalizes Canadians. Why did the Liberals repeatedly break the rules to benefit their friends at McKinsey?

Mr. Speaker, after nine years under this government that is not worth the cost or the corruption, we found out from the Auditor General yesterday that the government awarded 70% of its contracts, untendered, directly to McKinsey with the support of the Bloc Québécois. This shows a complete lack of ethics and responsibility. It is thinly veiled corruption. It is scandalous. Why is the Prime Minister awarding so many untendered contracts to McKinsey? Why?
