Pierre Poilievre Conservative
“The Prime Minister is friends with the CEO of Telesat. It is illegal for the Prime Minister to help a friend's company. I want to know if the Prime Minister ever discussed this contract with anyone in the government.”
“Mr. Speaker, there we go. There we have it. Every time they get caught with their hands in the cookie jar, they raise grand theatrical distractions. It is illegal under the ethics act for the Prime Minister to be in any way involved with a company with which he has a friendship. Dan Goldberg, the CEO of Telesat, is in a book club and a jogging club with the Prime Minister and attended two of his swearing-in ceremonies. He even flew over to London to see the Prime Minister. Given that it is illegal to help a friend, did the Prime Minister ever discuss this contract with anyone in the government?”
