Mr. Speaker, these people are trying to help the world's poorest, and all they get from the government is doublespeak and off-base attacks.
CIDA was four months past its own deadline, waiting for a media event, to announce the Muskoka initiative funding. The International Aboriginal Youth Internships were timed so the minister could announce them on a particular day.
Why is the minister more interested in flashy press conferences than actually getting the job done?
