Mr. Speaker, this is not theatre; these are facts. During the election campaign, he himself said that he was going to cut back on consulting contracts. In fact, the exact opposite is true: there are 36% more contracts. I want the people watching at home to know that these consultants are going to cost them $1,400 per family. That is par for the course for this government.
Could the minister remedy the situation and tell the Minister of Finance that spending more on consultants yet again is a bad move?
