Mr. Speaker, the fact is, these ads are simply partisan propaganda. The Privy Council Office survey proves they work for that purpose.
Government poll results on budget advertising are no longer public. However, it is only through to access to information that it has been revealed that Canadians themselves think these ads merely promote the Conservatives. Independent polls reveal Canadians find these ads a waste of money, Conservative propaganda or simply junk.
With so many essential services cut, how can the Conservatives defend wasting yet more taxpayers' money on yet more partisan propaganda?
