Speaking for the government, Transport and Infrastructure Minister John Baird defended the lobbying registry, which he said was the government's first action after the "robbery" of the federal sponsorship scandal under the Liberals.
"Mr. Jaffer got no grants, no money, Mr. Speaker, as a result of any of the meetings," Baird told the House. "Compare this to the previous Liberal government, when millions of dollars went missing and the Liberal Party had to return some of the kickbacks they received from taxpayers."
