Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Canadian Heritage has botched the preparations for the 150th anniversary of Confederation.
We have been calling for plans for these celebrations for over a year now. Instead, the Conservatives have come up with a preposterous infrastructure program, leaving just a few weeks for submitting proposals, and excluding lots of players, including the municipalities of Quebec. This patchwork plan has been rushed and handled in a disorderly fashion.
Will they admit that they are just waiting to hand out goodies before the election?
