Mr. Speaker, I think we are casting aspersions on the programs that are absolutely illegitimate and politically motivated.
The Prime Minister said yesterday “Probably I should offer an apology to the people of Alberta because if we did not have flexibility in the program, not one cent would have gone to that province”. It turns out that it was so flexible that the justice minister got $2.5 million in her riding. The 24 Reform ridings combined got $1 million.
Why is the Prime Minister's flexibility limited to dishing out cash in cliffhanger Liberal seats?
