Replying to Michael Cooper (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, there is more. The company’s 2025 financial statements recorded a comprehensive loss of $47 million, and revenue of under $15,000. In other words, the company was nearly bankrupt until the Liberals came to their rescue and handed them 200 million tax dollars to lease land that taxpayers already own. Is the reason the Liberals will not release the documents not that it is just one big scam in which Liberal insiders are getting rich?”
