Mr. Speaker, page 92 of the red book says:
-Conservatives made a practice of choosing political friends when making-thousands of appointments-
In October the Hill Times reported that 3,000 Liberals have been appointed to patronage positions since 1993.
I look at the title of the red book, Creating Opportunity . Like the 1.4 million unemployed Canadians I have to ask myself creating opportunity for whom.
I have a question for the Prime Minister. Do 1.4 million unemployed Canadians have to take out Liberal memberships in order to get jobs?
