Mr. Speaker, when Halifax played host to a very successful G7 summit, it was apparently quite a bargain. The total budget for the event was $28 million, and that covered everything from staffing to printing and security.
However, a spokesperson for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation at the time thought $28 million was too costly for a summit. He said:
There are conference facilities available, I'm sure...that could have hosted an event like this without spending several million dollars
Who was that outraged spokesperson? It was none other than the current Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism.
Where is the outrage now?
