Mr. Speaker, last year the Liberal leader, as a member of Parliament, was paid a generous $160,000 by Canadian taxpayers. However, that was not enough for the millionaire Liberal leader. He went and stuck Canadian charities with hundreds of thousands of dollars in speaking fees to line his pockets.
Now these charities are fighting back. A Saint John's charity that looks after seniors is asking the Liberal leader to return the $20,000 he ripped it off for. Why? His appearance was a total flop, resulting in tens of thousands of dollars in debt for the charity.
Instead of conning money from seniors, the Liberal leader should do the honourable thing and return the hundreds of thousands of dollars he has taken from Canadian charities.
