Madam Speaker, I am always pleased to continue on with the facts on a bill and the fact that the government tends to waste a lot of money and does not have its priorities straight.
In addition to the issues my hon. friend raised, we also have a serious street gang problem. There is organized crime. Pedophiles are out on the streets. Some jails are filled to overflowing. Priorities are all around this government and it fails to recognize them.
In the last Parliament the government had the great idea of bringing in useless Bill C-68, the firearms act. It spent millions and probably billions in the end. We are going to need all these judges plus a few hundred more in order to handle the court cases that will come from that.
When the government gets the priorities wrong, it has a snowball effect all the way down. It ruins a lot of good things in society which could have benefited by the government setting its priorities properly.
I agree. The government should set its priorities better. It should spend the money better. Let us get on with making Canada a better place.
