Mr. Speaker, I thank the House for the opportunity to rise on a point of order in regard to what the member for Kamloops—Thompson—Cariboo said yesterday.
She said that I was criticizing the government for investing too much in the west, and then she spoke of the World Police & Fire Games coming to B.C.
The member knows that no money was going to the police and fire games until after we issued a release demanding that it be funded, as the Georgia Straight reported. The government would have been quite happy to sweep the whole thing under the carpet and fund flagpoles and murals in Conservative ridings if I had not issued that release.
The member should not tell lies. She should tell the truth. She should not mislead the public and the House when I cannot defend it.
