Mr. Speaker, I guess the opinion of Canadians just does not matter to the government.
When Finance Canada asked regular Canadians about balancing the budget, it received a huge response. The message from Canadians was crystal clear: dump the economic action plan ads, the same ads promoting programs not yet approved and that Advertising Standards Canada ruled were “misleading”. Instead of promising to stop this highly partisan use of government advertising, Finance Canada just decided to stop asking questions altogether.
When will the Conservatives listen to Canadians and stop wasting money on these ads?
