Mr. Speaker, I listened with interest to the speech and I would like to ask the member a couple of questions.
I will not get into her answering the question with regard to the political connections to these grants. When we pool the information about what companies are getting the grants and what companies are great contributors to the Liberal Party, perhaps it is just a coincidence that they match up so well. I do not expect her to explain that away.
A couple of things really bother me. For years and years and years unemployment on some of the reserves in my riding has been at 80% and 90%. For the last six years the government has done absolutely nothing to try to alleviate that problem.
We have a group of hepatitis C victims across the country who are being denied funds even after there was a ruling that said it must occur. Yet the government will not move. Is it because Indian reserves and hepatitis C victims do not donate money to the Liberals that they cannot get the assistance they need so desperately?
