Mr. Speaker, midnight last night was the fateful hour, the deadline for filing our income tax returns.
No doubt, Quebeckers and Canadians took a few moments to wonder what the Liberal government, awash in scandals, will do with our tax dollars. There is the human resources scandal, in which the government wasted nearly $1 billion; the firearms scandal, in which the government ran through nearly $2 billion; and the sponsorship scandal, in which this government used public funds to try to buy the conscience of Quebeckers, while filling the pockets of its cronies who paid it back in spades.
Paying taxes is already hard enough. It is discouraging for taxpayers to see how this government is wasting their money.
Without a doubt, at the stroke of midnight last night, these disturbing facts must have left more than one person angry.
