Mr. Speaker, carbon tax Carney is just nine days into his role as the de facto finance minister, and he is already cashing in on his conflicts of interest to enrich himself at taxpayers' expense. Yesterday we learned that his firm is about to get a $10-billion sweetheart deal from his friends in the Liberal government to run his fund. We cannot even make this up. Every day, there are new questions about his conflicts. Just days after his official appointment, his close friend the CEO of Telesat got more than $2 billion of Canadians' tax dollars to build a broadband network that other firms could have built for half that price. While Canadians struggle to put food on the table, it has never been better to be a well-connected Liberal. It is time to come clean. How much does carbon tax Carney and his firm at Brookfield pocket in management fees from taxpayers in this new fund? If the Liberals do not plan on answering us, I am sure the Ethics Commissioner can shed some light on the brazen corruption of Canada's unelected finance minister, who is gunning for the PM's job. In the meantime, they get rich and Canadians get fleeced.
