So says the minister, Mr. Speaker, who fired 8,500 nurses in Ontario. That is a bit rich.
What is most obscene is that the $100 million propaganda campaign is being paid for with borrowed money. Let us continue: $100 million buys 1,000 affordable housing units; salaries for 1,700 public health nurses to fight H1N1 for a year; 50,000 doses of chemotherapy drugs at a time when Canadians with cancer are suffering while they are on waiting lists.
In the face of so many needs, why is the Prime Minister obsessed with self-promotion? Why is greed put before need and politics before people?
