Mr. Speaker, the Christmas season is coming a little early in the Prime Minister's riding this year. Old Saint Nick has dropped another $2.28 million in grants and no interest loans into the riding of Saint-Maurice. It reminds us of the headline in the Montreal Gazette during the 1993 campaign that said “I'm Santa Claus, promises the Prime Minister”.
Does the Prime Minister even check out who is naughty and who is nice or do the grants just go to his riding because it is in his riding?
