Mr. Speaker, the classic example of opposition party members denigrating these grants is the suggestion that some $45,000 was given to a bowling alley, I believe, in the Prime Minister's riding.
What they fail to tell is the complete story, that it was a $7 million tourist investment made by the private sector, by the provincial government, by everybody in the community, and an additional $45,000 was provided by HRDC. They happened to use it in the bowling alley. If the member wants to destroy a $7 million project because of that, that is irresponsible. It is simply not telling the whole story. We cannot say it is a lie. It is not only not parliamentary to do so, it is also not really a lie. It is a distortion of the facts to try to perpetrate a fraud upon the people of the country that somehow we are misusing those dollars. It is not the truth.
