Mr. Speaker, there is one thing that Liberal ministers did and it is something they worked very hard at, and that was spending money.
In fact, in the first quarter of 2005, this minister's counterpart spent $96,000 on travel while this minister spent $10,000 on travel in the comparable quarter.
In the second quarter, the Liberal minister spent $61,410 in travel while this minister spent $10,243 in the comparable quarter.
While we are at it, in addition to that money the Liberals spent, perhaps the members of the Liberal Party could tell us where all that sponsorship money went.
