Mr. Speaker, after nine years of NDP-Liberals, the Canadian dream of home ownership has become a pipe dream, unless, of course, someone is a friend of the Prime Minister.
Today, it was revealed that he purchased a $9-million condo on Billionaires' Row in New York City for his good friend, Tom Clark, after Clark complained that his old residence was not up to his standards. It is difficult to do the work of a consul general without Italian marble floors, a $5,000 coffee machine and a golf simulator at our disposal.
This revelation confirms that Tom Clark lied to committee about his involvement in the purchase. It also confirms evidence obtained by committee showing that Clark was instrumental when it came to purchasing the property.
Canadians are fed up with the government. It is time for change. It is time for accountability. It is time for a Conservative government that will bring transparency and respect back to the Canadian taxpayer.
