Mr. Speaker, the Minister of International Trade needs to explain how a close personal friend wound up $17,000 dollars richer after giving the minister a couple of days of media training. Documents tabled in the House show that in April 2020, the minister hired a PR firm run by Liberal insider and CBC pundit Amanda Alvaro just a month after the COVID-19 pandemic began, at a time when many Canadian small businesses were struggling just to survive. The minister needs to come clean. Why did she award a lucrative contract to someone who describes her as a “dear friend”?

Mr. Speaker, the budget is about to be tabled and holds market information that will impact the portfolios of average Canadians. That is why it is released after the markets close. However, the NDP leader revealed at a press conference this week that he was given an advance screening, and he shared this information with other members of the NDP elite. This could be considered important intel for insider trading. Did the finance minister inform NDP members privy to the budget of their responsibilities to the Ethics Commissioner, or did she give them time to adjust their stock portfolios first?
