Mr. Speaker, the hon. member makes reference to wasteful contributions. In his own riding he received around $30 million.
Would he call it wasteful to help support the British Columbia Interior Independent Living Resource Centre? Would he call it wasteful that we supported the Canadian Mental Health Association? Would he call it wasteful that we supported the Day Break Adult Day Centre for people in need of crisis intervention?
Perhaps the hon. member would like to visit these projects and determine if indeed the money is wasted.
