Mr. Speaker, I see that the Prime Minister has decided to become Canada's biggest party animal and is willing to spend $160 million to ring in the millennium. I think he wants to become Dick Clark, the king of the new year.
In the red book, the Prime Minister promised to limit spending on the millennium project, or the blowout, to $10 million which should have bought enough beer and pretzels even for the Liberals I would think. Now he has expanded that to $160 million of taxpayers' dollars.
I wonder why he does not just give taxpayers tax relief and leave that money in their pockets instead of spending it on the millennium party.
