Mr. Speaker, in his economic statement last week the finance minister said the government has cut up its credit cards and called this responsible financial management. In rural New Brunswick we call it potato fertilizer.
Recently the auditor general said the use of credit cards has increased tenfold. The government does not know how many cards have been lost or stolen and in three months it ran up an $80,000 bill for late payment charges because the Liberal government could not pay its credit card bills on time.
Is this what the minister of public works calls responsible financial management?
