We learned also that he had brought that information to the attention of Liberal ministers who did absolutely nothing to stop the scam.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"616273\" data-originallang=\"en\">Now we are pushing forward with a continued public investigation at the public accounts committee. We have also appointed an investigator who will report back to the minister and publicly.</p>",
