Mr. Speaker, again we hear of a lavish dinner and cruise aboard a Canadian coast guard vessel, this time the Sir Humphrey Gilbert . The guests were none other than Premier Tobin and his Liberal colleagues. The operating cost of the vessel, the cost of the prime rib, the salmon, the booze, including the four cases of expensive wine, were all paid for by the good old hospitable coast guard, on behalf of the Canadian taxpayer of course.
Could the minister tell us who authorized the ex-captain Canada to have his own private cruise ship?
