Mr. Speaker, every day there is more evidence of the Conservative government's abuse of power.
Two-thirds of recreational infrastructure went to Conservative ridings, the use of taxpayers' dollars for political gain. On the cheques for those announcements is the government party's logo. That is use of public funds for party advertising. Now Western Economic Diversification uses political branding in its funding announcements, breaching rules of bureaucratic neutrality.
Does the minister not know it is an abuse of power to make the department do political advertising?
