Madam Speaker, there was $40 million in the sponsorship scandal, and there is $400 million in their latest scandal. Inflation has been pretty bad, but I would argue that that is pretty excessive. It is ten times the size it was for the sponsorship scandal.
We can think of the outrage that Canadians had when that money went missing, and fast-forward to the next Liberal government, we now have $400 million. The Liberals never, ever learned. That is baked into their history and their entitlement.
The NDP, though, is the party that really frustrates me because its members pretend to be in opposition and that they are so sick of the corporate insiders, yet they are the ones, for the last three years, who have backed them up, including voting for the very program now under criminal investigation.
