Mr. Speaker, the Auditor General's latest report further dispels the myth that the Conservatives are good managers.
The President of the Treasury Board is unable to explain how he spent $3 billion—$3 billion. Like many Canadians, the Auditor General is wondering where that money went.
Where is the money? Usually with boondoggles, one has something tangible to point to, such as gazebos in the Muskokas or Canadian flags plastered across an Indy racetrack in Montreal, but this time the President of the Treasury Board stood with hollow words and empty hands, incapable of saying where the billions went.
In any other industry, he would be fired. In the Conservative land of make-believe, the man is promoted.
Only in Conservative Ottawa is someone rewarded for turning border infrastructure money into a gazebo slush fund.
Canada deserves better, and in 2015 New Democrats will provide exactly that.
