Mr. Speaker, Claims · 146 wordsthe Liberals’ recently manufactured majority is starting to settle in. All of a sudden, they can move fast when it comes to grabbing control of committees to prevent scrutiny of their behaviour. The ethics, public accounts, and operations and estimates committees are important to ensure the public can trust that power is not being abused, and they are at risk of being taken over by the Liberals. We never seem to have to look very far for glaring examples of why oversight is so important. There was the software scandal with almost $300 million wasted on failed e-prescribing.¹ The program did not work.² This latest boondoggle makes the ArriveCAN scandal look like a warm-up act. While the Liberals complain about two-tier health care, they keep defending the $275 million spent on health care benefits for fake asylum claimants, benefits that Canadians do not have access to.³ Positioning · 4 wordsThis is Liberal logic.Positioning Claims · 39 wordsFinally, I hope, as the week is not over, the Liberals are turning a gravel pit into a money pit, with $200 million spent for Liberal insiders to get rich, ⁴and they say that they are just getting started.
