Mr. Speaker, today the Liberal leader's spenders conference gets under way in Montreal.
The Ottawa Sun is reporting this morning that after not inviting MPs to the spenders conference, the Liberal Party scrambled to invite a few MPs at the very last minute for optics. Apparently, they are now being invited but are actually being discouraged from taking part.
The spenders conference is hardly reflective of Canada. Forty-three of more than fifty guest speakers are from Ontario and Quebec, and the United States and Australia have more representation than four provinces.
While the Liberal leader is off in academic fantasyland this weekend, our Conservative government is focused on the concerns of today, leading the way on creating jobs and building the economy.
At the end of the day, Canadians know that the spenders conference will only propose grandiose spending proposals that Canadians do not want.
