“The government gave $20 million to bail out a struggling company. Right after that, the company's board chair sold shares and took $1.8 million. I want the parliamentary secretary to explain how the government can justify this corruption.”
“Mr. Speaker, my question was about pump and dump. It was about corruption. Here we have the Liberal government funnelling $20 million to Maritime Launch Services, bailing out a nearly bankrupt company, upon which the chair of the board immediately sells three million of his shares, walking away with $1.8 million. Does the parliamentary secretary consider that to be normal? Is that just business as usual with the Liberals? How can the parliamentary secretary justify this type of corruption?”
