Mr. Speaker, the minister responsible for ACOA defends his agency's wasteful spending on golf courses as joint projects with provincial and municipal governments.
However the federal portion of the funding for the Gander golf course was 80%, or $1 million, and it was a non-repayable contribution. The province's portion was only 8% and this money was lent to the golf course. It appears there was no money from the municipality.
If the funding was truly one-third from each level of government as the minister told the House, will he table the documents that would prove it?
