		<description>Greg,
 
A good article on the taxpayers&#039; money going to Linamar.
 
In fact, the first in a Guelph newspaper that openly questions it all. And hopefully not the last.
 
I had questioned Liz Sandals some time ago about the first $44M and she assured me that the funds would only be released when Linamar hit certain milestones i.e job creation numbers. But since then I guess they received all the money despite her assurance and now I have heard do not have to pay anything back.
 
Now this seems to be at odds with some of what you have written hence all of it seems a bit suspect at the taxpayers expense.
 
there is probably more to the entire story that isn&#039;t being told to Joe Public. Perhaps an interview with Sandals or a Access to information Act request for the Provincial deal agreement is in order.
 
And isn&#039;t it funny that Linamar being a parts supplier is going to lead the way with green engines etc...this begs the question as to who has put the order in for these or is this just fictious speak.
 
And lastly, isn&#039;t it amazing how Linamar can play both the Conservatives and the Liberals.
 
For your consideration...again, great article.
 
Continue to pursue this story, there has to be more there.
 
Cheers
