Calgary Conservative MP Stephanie Kusie is accusing federal Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault of corruption related to the so-called "green slush fund."
On Friday, Kusie (Calgary Midnapore) said Guilbeault invested $254 million in a company he owns.
"This government is not in compliance with Parliament and is not producing documents related to this potentially corrupt activity," Kusie said in a social media post.
"Canadians deserve answers and accountability from the Liberal government that has been tainted by this scandal. When will they hand over the documents to the GRC?"
Last week, the National Post reported that Auditor General Karen Hogan rejected a request from a House of Commons committee for another audit of the green slush fund, saying it was unlikely to reveal anything new.
In a letter to the public accounts committee in October, Hogan said her office had not conducted the "cost and performance audit" of the Sustainable Development Technology Corporation (SDTC) requested by the committee last month, the National Post reported. Conservative MPs continue to demand the release of documents on the green slush fund.
"After nine years, this NDP-Liberal government is not worth it," Kusie told the House on Friday.
"The Minister of the Environment invested $254 million in a company he owns. The government continues to hide the documents. The green slush fund is against the interests of this House."
Liberal MP Karina Gould (Burlington) responded to Kusie by accusing him of dishonesty. She said the federal government had already provided all the documents requested by the House.
"We did it in a way that respected the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms," Gould said. "The Conservative Party itself is blocking the work of this House." On this side of the House, we respect democracy. We respect the rights of Canadians and we respect the authority of the police."
RCMP Commissioner Mike Duheme is concerned that some of the documents from the green slush fund sent to the force at the House's behest are "beyond the normal reach of investigators, putting the force in a difficult legal grey area," the National Post reported. The charges against Guilbeault have not been proven in court.
