Pierre Poilievre Conservative
“It is against the law for the Prime Minister to help his friends get government contracts. A company led by his personal friend received a $2-billion contract. I want the Prime Minister to answer if he discussed this contract with his staff.”
“Mr. Speaker, the question was for the Prime Minister and concerned the rising price of gas due to Liberal taxes. There are two economies: one for the Prime Minister’s friends and another for everyone else. Under the Conflict of Interest Act, it is illegal for the Prime Minister to intervene in the awarding of contracts to companies connected to friends. Mr. Goldberg of Telesat belongs to both a book club and a running club with the Prime Minister. He has also attended two of the Prime Minister’s swearing-in ceremonies. Did the Prime Minister discuss the $2-billion contract awarded to Telesat with his staff?”
