Mr. Speaker, now it is a marketing pavilion, as if that changes anything.
Having run up the biggest deficit in Canadian history, the Conservative way to welcome journalists to meetings on fiscal restraint is to put them around a 72-hour fake lake in downtown Toronto, complete with a Jumbotron the size of a house to watch soccer. Even Conservatives are balking at the growing list of waste. The Prime Minister's former campaign manager and mentor said that the costs are indefensible. He said he is glad he is not paid “to spout that kind of nonsense”.
With so many real priorities underfunded or cut by the Conservative government, how can the Prime Minister justify this waste of money?
