Mr. Speaker, what the member is suggesting is that the federal government not pay Ontario's bills.
Yesterday, I asked the foreign affairs minister about the federal Liberals paying a private public relations firm $23,000 for Kathleen Wynne's recent trip to Israel. He said, “The amount of money he speaks about is an amount of money that was available to anyone....”
What a ridiculous answer. That money is not available to anyone unless their circle of friends includes the Prime Minister, Gerald Butts, and Katie Telford.
Canadian taxpayers want to know why the federal Liberals paid for Kathleen Wynne's public relations bills.
