Mr. Speaker, we are not talking about museums. We are talking about directly rewarding athletes who contribute to our national pride as well.
It is an issue that every party should be speaking out on, but Conservatives would rather spend more on ads than athletes. Many of our leading amateur athletes live under constant financial stress, very close to the poverty line, but the Conservatives choose to spend more money on advertising the Lucky Loonie than rewarding their successes.
When will the government get its priorities straight? When it comes to propaganda advertising, why will it not put athletes first?
