“The government gave 20 million taxpayer dollars to a nearly broke company called Maritime Launch Services. The head of that company then sold his shares and made 1.8 million dollars. I want the minister to explain why they allowed this.”
“Mr. Speaker, after handing 20 million tax dollars to the nearly bankrupt Maritime Launch Services for no work, the chair of the board sold his previously worthless shares, pocketing $1.8 million. What we have is one big corrupt scheme in which Liberal insiders are getting rich while taxpayers are getting fleeced. How can the minister possibly justify this?”
