Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Deputy Prime Minister.
Yesterday, among the horror stories revealed by the auditor general, we learned that, in order to save $71 on a repair contract for a ship moored in Nova Scotia, the government spent $30,000 to move it to Newfoundland, $30,000 in taxpayers' money wasted to save $71. Unbelievable!
Is the Deputy Prime Minister in a position to explain to us how this could be, what twisted logic was used to justify the decision by someone, somewhere, that it was normal to spend $30,000 in order to save $71?
