Mr. Speaker, the real question is, which of these things will the Liberals actually do? They have had 12 years to do it.
Billions of dollars were announced today in spending with no accountability mechanisms built in. Justice Gomery said that the poorly planned sponsorship program was:
-- a depressing story of multiple failures to plan a government program appropriately and to control waste—a story of greed, venality and misconduct...
This vote-buying spree with no clear plans will only perpetuate that type of waste. Has the Prime Minister learned nothing from ad scam? Why would any Canadian believe he actually intends to do these things?
