Mr. Speaker, yesterday's question period revealed that the Prime Minister does not care about credibility. On June 12, 1991, he said:
If there is any bungling in the department, nobody will be singled out. The minister will have to take the responsibility.
Yet the Prime Minister made a spectacle of defending the HRD minister. The Prime Minister has no regard for integrity. His minister knew of the bungling of the transitional jobs fund. Yet he defended her when she told the House and Canadians that everything was all right. She now admits that was not true but what she says now is true. Can we believe her? We only know for certain what the auditors have shown us: mismanagement and ineptitude.
The Liberals do not care about how they spend taxpayer money. They just want more of it. There were 37 tax increases since they took office. As the latest billion dollar boondoggle glaringly shows, when the Liberals get our money they abuse it, misuse it and lose it.
