Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for Mississauga South for giving me this opportunity to talk about this. He has finally put his finger on the problem. The problem is money. I had said that I would not talk about the Liberal Party's shameful waste of public funds. But the Liberal member has given me an opportunity to renew the debate on the sponsorship scandal, the Radwanski affair and the major spending by this government.
We have a problem. The government has money coming out of its ears. That is the reality. The Liberal government has a lot of money and is throwing it around like there is no tomorrow and like the veterans have no tomorrow. That is what we are realizing today. Money is being wasted. Money is being invested in areas where administrative cuts should have been made, particularly when it comes to senior civil servants and the upper echelons of the federal public service.
Today, a Liberal member said that the real problem is money. That is true, the problem is that the Liberal government is wasting money, investing every which way but where it should, and then fails to have enough to help the surviving spouses of veterans who only want one thing: to maintain the quality of life they had when their spouse was alive.
