Mr. Chair, that announcement was announced as a big announcement. It was billed as a great new announcement. Ralph Surette, in the Chronicle Herald a couple of days later, said this about it:
Instead, it has turned into a comedy of errors. The announcement was of $30 billion over 20 years. That was revised to anywhere from $20 to $50 billion by various confused government spokesmen, and by the time it got to Parliament, the full accounting was closer to $100 billion.
Let me ask this, has this money in fact been submitted to Treasury Board?
