Mr. Speaker, obviously the Prime Minister is back to the minimize theory, that this is not such a big deal after all.
The Prime Minister compared the loss and mismanagement of a billion dollars to Canadians accidentally going over budget at the end of the month. He said, “I think it happens to you at the end of month to see that you have spent a few dollars more than expected”. That is what he said. I can assure you, Mr. Speaker, that there are not too many Canadians who accidentally bungle a billion dollars.
Is the Prime Minister suggesting that his government is so mismanaged that a billion dollar bungle is a commonplace occurrence?
