Mr. Speaker, the minister asked us to look back at the record. We did and what we found was that from July to December, while the time bomb was still ticking away in her department, she denied that the problem even existed. There were more grants and contributions funded out of that office in November than in any other month in 1999. The minister has clearly put partisan politics ahead of her personal integrity.
Why would she abuse taxpayers' dollars in such a way?
