HOUSE OF COMMONS -- MONDAY MARCH 3, 2008
Hon. Hedy Fry (Vancouver Centre, Lib.): Mr. Speaker, yesterday the Prime Minister and members of his government deliberately tried to confuse Canadians.
According to the book, the distasteful offer to bribe Mr. Cadman was made with the Prime Minister's approval on May 17. There was another meeting on May 19, but the bribe was offered on May 17.
Who represented the Prime Minister at the May 17 meeting and what was offered to Mr. Cadman?
Hon. Hedy Fry (Vancouver Centre, Lib.): Mr. Speaker, the first reaction of the government is to say anything but the truth.
Yesterday government members said Mr. Cadman's wife and daughter were not telling the truth. They pretended that the only meeting with Mr. Cadman took place on May 19.
However, there was a meeting on May 17 where a $1 million bribe was offered. It was organized by the Minister of Natural Resources and the Prime Minister knew about it.
I repeat the question: Who represented the Prime Minister at the meeting with Mr. Cadman on May 17?
