Adhering to his testimony, Treasury Board President Tony Clement turned down all the accusations from New Democrats Wednesday about making “false and misleading statements” to Parliament about his part in the G8 legacy fund.

The G8 legacy infrastructure fund, worth $50 million, was established to finance projects in Clement’s Muskoka-Parry Sound riding, where the conference of world leaders took place in Huntsville, Ont., in June 2010.

Earlier this week, NDP MP Charlie Angus said: “Unfortunately, Mr. Clement used the committee as an exercise in spin, obfuscation and misrepresentation of the facts.”

Angus said Clement informed the committee that initially, 33 projects were proposed and one was withdrawn since the city decided not to proceed.

“This is simply not true,” said Angus.

According to Angus, he can prove with the help of an email that Clement’s office directed the municipality of Gravenhurst to withdraw the project. He claims the emails prove Clement’s office was involved in sending documents to FedNor, the regional economic development agency, in spite of a statement from Clement at the committee that his officials had nothing to do with it.

“The most serious misrepresentation; however, is Clement’s claim that he had no involvement in whittling down the projects,” Angus emphasized.

  1. In what world is “sure”, used in that context as a response to a formal query, not intended as an “affirmative” or “positive” response, signifying clear acceptance??

    Not in Tony’s slimy dark world i suppose.

    Tony is one of the disinformation police of Canada’s dark era… history will remember him and the rest of the Harper regime as the architects of destruction by deceit…

    What he has done and what he is doing is DECEIT… he continues his deceit by demanding apology as acknowledgement of his innocence, like the murderous husband would weep for his beloved dead wife….

    Tony, and the rest of the disinformation police are used as cannon fodder to choke up communication and lay a smoke screen of conflicting disinformation, everyone that is part of the political system is complicit either actively, or passively as a bureaucratic cog-in-the-machine that must respond with the anticipated response when tapped with the expected stimulus… (ie: any NDP ‘apology’, the speaker’s acceptance of the findings, and Hansard’s role).

    Harper is deconstructing Canada, and lying every step of the way, because what real Canadian would truly allow that to occur? You see, the Harper regime thinks of Canadians like frogs in a pot of water over a fire… if they just throw us in the boiling water we might jump out, and we’ll definitely be angry… BUT if they place us in a pot of cold water and bring it up slowly to a boil, we will sit there and get cooked…

    Are we gonna let these double talking, deceitful, anarchists cook Canada and Canadians? So far Canadians are allowing it…. OPEN UP YOUR EYES.
