Pardon me, but this is illogical.
We invest millions of dollars in Canada's image, whereas we're dealing with social problems, in a world that's starving to death. Do you think that's logical? How does investing $3,000 in shawls contribute to Canada's image? Can you tell me what that does, when children are dying of hunger in Africa, in particular, and can't obtain vaccines? There's also AIDS and a whole host of other problems.
You really think that the $3,000 used to buy shawls, the $2,000 for pins and the $300,000 for the damned toilets that served no purpose will help the little children in Africa or elsewhere in the world who can't get be vaccinated and are dying of hunger or AIDS? Don't you think that's shameful, Mr. Kirton?
I'm ashamed.
