Mr. Speaker, waste, waste, waste and more waste, the litany continues. Today I released my waste report explaining to Canadians how the government finds ways to spend our tax dollars.
We start with Citizenship and Immigration which paid $10,000 to an employee because it hurt his feelings. Aw, the poor dear. Well, he is not quite so poor today anyway.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency paid $2,500 because its detector dog reached retirement age before its contract expired.
Correctional Service paid $2,100 to a prisoner because it trashed his computer.
No one wastes taxpayers' money better than the Department of Canadian Heritage. The National Film Board produces trash and it is not even Canadian trash or good trash: $300,000 for The Influent and the Effluent , a documentary that explores the hidden world of sewers and the relationship between humans and their waste.
Human waste, government waste, it all adds up to a lot of taxpayers' money down the toilet.
