Mr. Speaker, Conservative financial incompetence has added $140 billion to the national debt, bringing it to a staggering $600 billion.
For the Conservatives, lavish TV advertising is more important than food safety; celebrating the War of 1812 is more important than providing dignified funerals for veterans. The Conservatives are cutting funding for low-income Canadians while the Minister of Finance is doubling his advertising budget to $16 million.
Instead of cutting support for the poor, why does the minister not cut his own wasteful advertising budget?
