Mr. Speaker, in a time of economic restraint when Canadians are losing their jobs and are hard hit by a recession, this Conservative government spent the highest amount in Canadian history on advertising. To put it in perspective, the amount was more than all the beer companies combined spent last year.
That is an outrageous amount of spending on advertisements which many Canadians, when surveyed, associated with Conservative Party propaganda.
When will the Conservatives stop wasting taxpayers' money and start doing something about the $56 billion deficit?
