Madam Speaker, “it is a scandal”.
Who said that?
It was not my colleague from Lévis—Lotbinière, it was the columnist Bernard Drainville who said it this morning. Projected spending for building 15 frigates has gone from $26 billion to $77 billion, a threefold increase. How could the Liberals miss the mark so badly?
We are talking about $50 billion of Canadians' money. The Prime Minister is the person responsible for public funds. The frigates file is dead in the water and sinking like a stone.
Can he do his job and end this financial scandal?
