Mr. Speaker, the Bloc has been rising in this House for 20 years to stand up for Quebeckers.
Clearly, the Conservative government has used the G8 and G20 summits to reward its friends. For instance, a $20 million arena was built in the industry minister's riding. To justify this expense, the government is telling us that it is to accommodate the members of the press at the summit. However, with the events about to start in just a few days, organizers are now saying that the arena will be used for neither the G8 nor the G20 summit.
These summits have essentially become open bars for the friends of the Conservatives, have they not?
