Madam Speaker, there is no one who supports the idea of helping people more than I. I think we need to help people whenever we can.
In light of the fact that the Prime Minister's riding received more money in grants than the entire provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba put together, the fact that some of these dealings in the Prime Minister's riding involved some pretty shady characters and the fact that many of the grants were given to billion dollar organizations like Bombardier and Wal-Mart which are doing very well and just happen to be on the Liberal donor list, does that not cause any problems in the mind of this member? Does accountability not enter her vocabulary? I am talking about accountability for taxpayer dollars. Does it not matter that these three provinces did not receive nearly as much money as one member's riding? Does this not bother the member?
