Mr. Speaker, who, other than an unelected senator who deleted accountability from the mandate of his own department, could make a mess like this?
It was not enough that the Conservatives sold nine federal buildings at a loss of millions to taxpayers, they also sold two buildings that they were not allowed to sell. Because it failed to consult first nations and to do even basic due diligence, the government was forced, at untold cost, to pull two buildings yesterday, days before the deal was closed.
Was the Minister of Public Works hiding in the Senate when this deal was inked, or is this type of incompetence the norm?
