Mr. Speaker, we know that the minister of public works was in favour of this simple transaction, as he calls it. This simple transaction would have paid $25 million more than the building was really worth.
We have canoe museums, HRDC grants, loans for hotels, fountains, CIDA grants and now inflated real estate scams. You name it, as long as it benefits friends of the Prime Minister. No price is too high to pay by the taxpayer.
Why does this Prime Minister continue to believe he can use taxpayer dollars to help his friends?
