Mr. Speaker, I listened intently to my hon. colleague speaking about the advertising program and that the ends justify the means.
I have a couple of points. He talked about the advertising program in the context of the economic action plan. The economic action plan was implemented to help Canadians get through a very difficult economic time. It was not implemented to help the Conservatives promote themselves.
When he talked about online presence, he should have mentioned that the online presence also had a link that went to the Prime Minister singing Beatles songs.
What he should have talked about is how we could either improve the advertising that we are doing, reduce the advertising that we are doing to make it more specific to programs that are essential to Canadians, and to give information to Canadians.
We should be focused on ensuring that the right amount of money is put toward informing Canadians versus advertising for the Conservative Party.
