Mr. Speaker, in response to a question yesterday, the government stated that a cost overrun of over a quarter of a million dollars at the Greenwich development project was quite acceptable. We know that the president of the Liberal Party stands to make $30 million over the life of the deal. The minister has met personally with Mr. Banks and lo and behold taxpayers are left to foot the bill.
This is not personal. It is not about provincial prejudice. This is about responsible use of taxpayer money. With crumbling medicare, an underfunded military and crippling student debt, to mention a few, why are taxpayers of Prince Edward Island and Canada expected to pay for Tim Banks' overspending and his outrageously rich deal with the Liberal government?
