Mr. Speaker, it is amazing that, once we put in infrastructure, the Conservatives think that is a bad thing.
It is not just security costs that are out of control: $1.1 million for a sidewalk that is 84 kilometres from the summit site; and $400,000 to restore a vintage steamboat that will not be in the water until two weeks after the G8.
Why does the industry minister not understand? Canadians deserve better than having their money spent to buy his re-election.
