Government Contracts Mr. Speaker, that same public works minister admitted that his Liberal friend broke the law. He admitted it twice even though he does not admit it now. Now our Commons committee wants that law enforced and wants those fines paid. The only question that remains here is whether th

Eastern Ontario Mr. Speaker, the Liberal Party must really have it in for us folks here in eastern Ontario. First, the Prime Minister shortchanged Ottawa and other Ontario municipalities to pay for an enhanced deal for Toronto. Ottawa, including its suburban and rural communities, should get th

An Act to Authorize the Minister of Finance to make Certain Payments Mr. Speaker, the hon. member spoke rather eloquently about Liberal theft, Liberal corruption, Liberal bribery and Liberal fraud, all of which have been a great cost to Canadian taxpayers. He is right. I would like to ask him about what I believe will prove to be one of the most

An Act to Authorize the Minister of Finance to make Certain Payments Madam Speaker, I must really be on a roll if they are trying to interrupt me constantly. I am going to get right to the heart of the matter. This is a quarter billion dollar interest free loan to a nearly bankrupt American airline company, Delta. The Liberals gave a quarter bill

An Act to Authorize the Minister of Finance to make Certain Payments Madam Speaker, we speak regularly on this side of the House, and quite rightly, about Liberal corruption, Liberal theft, Liberal fraud. We have to repeat ourselves often because that is often the only discussion item generated from that side of the House. This evening I am going

Supply Mr. Speaker, no, I do not. I believe that all families regardless of income should have some support for child care in those crucial early years. I believe that those dollars should go directly into the pockets of parents. Instead of sending the dollars to bureaucrats and public

Committees of the House Mr. Speaker, the real reason why that member and the Liberal Party oppose extending Mr. Reid's work is that they recognize that Mr. Reid has done an exemplary job of exposing Liberal attempts to cover up corruption. The hon. member was there when Mr. Reid came before the governm
