Replying to Warren Steinley (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, let us try this again. There is no doubt that the AI minister, the Prime Minister and the Telesat CEO are good friends. They hang out together. They are in running clubs and book clubs. Their kids all go to the same rich private school, so there is a close relationship. Why did the AI minister put Dan Goldberg of Telesat on his ethics screen but the Prime Minister did not?”
