I thought I said it was an increase of 69 per cent, Mr. Speaker.
I also noticed in the estimates that the Department of Canadian Heritage will be spending $1.8 million on a golf course in Cape Breton.
Yesterday, the Minister of Finance said: "Cut spending". He also said that the second principle of the government is that priorities must reflect the needs of the people and that the third principle is frugality, that every dollar counts.
Does the Minister of Public Works and Government Services not understand what the Minister of Finance said, or does he refuse to give up this pork barrel way of spending?
