Mr. Speaker, do not listen to me. Listen to John Kirton, the director of the University of Toronto's G8 research group. This is what he had to say:
If you want to be at the G-8 table, you can’t go to the washroom when the bill comes
The cost for each of the two Canada summits are more or less within range of what G-8 and even G-20 summits have been costing.
This is the truth.
Let us be very clear. Who also supported the location of Huntsville for the G8 summit? In fact, it was the Liberal leader.
