Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the member for Winnipeg North—St. Paul, if he feels this budget is so good and he was doing a lot of bragging about it in his speech, why did the government feel it had to spend $3.6 million to advertise it and engage in its public relations?
I would hope the member for Winnipeg North—St. Paul is as concerned as we are about the $500,000 the Manitoba Conservative government is spending on feel good health care ads.
I wonder if the member will join with us in condemning both the Manitoba Conservatives and the federal Liberals for wasting public money to engage in self-serving ads. Would he not agree that every penny available should go into the care of patients and not into propaganda?
