Mr. Speaker, my hon. friend is quite right. Words fail, at least in this place, in terms of words that are allowable to use. Without a doubt, in terms of just the scan of it so far and in the research that we have done, it shows that a disproportionate amount of those dollars have gone into Liberal-held ridings. It would certainly bolster what has been said before in terms of being used, being levered for contributions to the Liberal Party and so on. I think that is what outrages the public in the whole matter.
The Liberals are now trying to minimize it by saying that it is just a few projects, when in fact this is a representative sampling of a far bigger piece.
Yes, we do have a problem. Frankly, the whole system needs to be changed or started from scratch again where we deal with handicapped people and provide the resources and so on there. We need to get away from the kinds of things that are subject to political interference, patronage and the kind of pork-barrelling that has been used by the Liberal government over the course of a number of years.
