Mr. Speaker, I have heard of people talking about family values. This is the first time I have heard about Liberal values being the patronage trough.
Let us talk for a second about the Senate. There have been 20 appointments over three and a half years, which is better than with Brian Mulroney.
During the last campaign the Prime Minister talked about patronage when he said:
The people of Canada will see a big difference with the Liberals in power.
If they did, the only difference I can see is that the appointees are now Liberal instead of Tory and there is more of them. Maybe that is the difference.
In 1984 then Prime Minister Trudeau made 172 appointments in his final month in office and he went on to lose the election. How many appointments has the Prime Minister made in April? Is he trying to set a new record?
