Mr. Speaker, if it was so legitimate, it would have been front and centre in the government's spending reports for the last 10 years.
Over the last 10 years the Liberal government has funnelled about half a billion dollars into the unity slush fund. That is in addition to the quarter billion dollars on the fraudulent sponsorship program; $1 billion for HRDC boondoggles; approaching $2 billion for the gun registry fiasco; and of course the money that went to Canada Steamship Lines. On all of these things, the Prime Minister claimed he knew nothing about the way the spending was going.
Why did the Prime Minister not speak up when all of these questionable cheques were being signed in the first place?
