Allegations of illegal behaviour flew around the House of Commons during question period on Thursday between the Conservatives and Liberals.
“At his billion dollar green slush fund, the prime minister’s hand-picked chair is being investigated for lining her own pockets and resigned in disgrace. But another NDP-Liberal appointed director has been caught funneling $42 million she has stakes in. The Liberals knew it but then they promoted her to the infrastructure bank anyway,” Conservative MP Michael Barrett said.
Innovation Minister François-Philippe Champagne responded saying “the moment we heard about the allegation we launched an investigation — the chair has resigned — we are investigating, we are going to make sure every dollar, Mr. Speaker, that is spent is going to be well spent, we are going to restore governance.”
Government House Leader Steve MacKinnon then questioned the Conservatives about allegations of corruption in their own party saying “I want to know why there is a woman in Aurora named Sabrina Maddeaux and another one — and they’re both women by the way — her name is Rachel Gilliland alleging ‘things don’t seem quite kosher in conservative nomination land.’ And that is after the allegations by Ms. Maddeaux of illegality in the Conservative nomination.”
