Madam Speaker, the member is absolutely right. The $400 million was misallocated by Liberal insiders, who were deliberately appointed by the previous minister. The misappropriation of that money could have gone to any of a number of things, including housing our troops. There is a base housing problem, in which our men and women in the armed forces do not have access to housing. That is just one thing that instantly leaps out at me because we have debated that in the House.
The member is right. The Liberals could have lowered taxes by $400 million. They could have not incurred another $400 million in debt. Instead, under the government's watch, with the minister's own senior officials present, the Liberal insiders chose to give the money to themselves.
