Mr. Speaker, a $600,000 transitional jobs fund grant was awarded to MacNeils Cove in Nova Scotia to build a boardwalk. However, the boardwalk was built without any of the required permits and as a result remains unfinished. A local resident calls it a monument to human stupidity. I call it a monument to Liberal stupidity.
Why did the HRD minister spend $600,000 of taxpayers' money on a boardwalk boondoggle that did not have the required permits?
