Mr. Speaker, Canadians are not being fooled by this smokescreen. They are not being fooled by what is happening over there. In fact, they are pretty disgusted by the laughter. A billion dollars of taxpayers' money has been mismanaged and the government thinks it is funny. I do not think it is funny.
Who are these people who benefited from the minister's largesse? The Walton family, which owns Wal-Mart. Four of them are listed in the top 10 list of Forbes as Americans who are the richest people in the world. Why is the minister wasting taxpayers' money on these kinds of people?
