Mr. Speaker, the odour surrounding the cancellation of the Pearson airport contract continues to get worse. The government is now planning to use the taxpayers' money to buy its way out of a mess it created. It claims it will be an arm's length purchase by the greater Toronto airport authority, but what private sector lender provides 175 per cent financing?
The Prime Minister continuously slams the actions of the former Tory government but continues to practise the same old style politics that blurs any distinction between the lines of the two old parties of the past.
My question is for the Prime Minister. Will he admit that this questionable deal is nothing more than an effort to buy his way out of an embarrassing problem and with taxpayers' money?
