I now ask the Sergeant at Arms to admit Mr. Firth at the bar of the House. It’s an interrogation so rare, on behalf of the House of Commons, I admonish you that it hasn’t happened since 1913. Christian Firth, co-owner of GC Strategies, the company at the heart of the Arrivecan scandal summoned to the House of Commons after refusing to answer MPs questions. At committee, I’m supposed to not participate in any activity that would call any undue stress. To myself as being diagnosed. With having acute mental health flare ups, that stress undoubtedly added to by an RCMP raid on a property Firth owns just outside of Ottawa, there was a search warrant, not an arrest warrant for my property. To obtain electronic goods surrounding the Butler allegations. Despite the revelation, the government did not ask questions about the raid or arrived can only about first Health. We do not believe that it is appropriate to question Mr. Firth if he is not medically able to participate. We want this to be done in a way that respects the dignity of Parliament. But the opposition pressed on, pushing Firth on the $19 million his two person company got for work as a middleman on a Rivecan. Why did he mislead the the committee by answering that question in the negative? Mr. Firth? Mr. Speaker, at that time I thought I did answer it correctly. I have a very difficult time accepting that answer and believing that answer to be the truth. Has the government asked Mr. Firth to repay the money paid to GC Strategies on Arrivecan Mr. Firth? Mr. Speaker? No, they have none. All I can say is, aren’t you ashamed? Mr. Firth. Mr. Speaker, do I have to answer that yes, yes, yes you do. No, I am not ashamed. The RCMP confirmed the raid on Firth’s property to Global News and specifically stated it was not related to a Rivkan. But Donna, a source with direct knowledge, says the warrant is broad and the RCMP will be able to look at computers and other information seized at the property for a number of potential criminal offenses that they’re investigating. OK Mackenzie in Ottawa, thank you.
