Mr. Speaker, I do not think it is un-Canadian to ask the government to keep its hands in its own pockets, not in ours.
Media Express donated $10,000 to the Liberal Party and then it got a $1 million return from HRDC to set up a call centre in the riding of the President of the Treasury Board. She put out a press release saying “We ought to announce this”. I am sure it did not mention the ten grand they got because that might just bother those pesky little constituents that believe in principle and merit.
Why does a donation to the Liberal Party always open the floodgates to these HRDC cheques?
