Mr. Speaker, Claims · 108 wordsthe minister knows this because I met him when he first got elected here on the floor of the House of Commons, and when he was named the housing minister, I told him that the first thing he had to do was to get rid of the people who have led us into this trap in the first place. Those are the people in his department, the ones whose advice he is following now to spend another $1.7 billion of Canadians’ money in accomplishing what they have accomplished so far, ¹which is just spending money and not fixing the situation at all. He keeps referring to a crisis. Positioning · 20 wordsThis crisis is a crisis of his party’s causing, along with the officials who have led him to this trap.Positioning Claims · 56 wordsNot getting this to committee means another $1.7 billion of Canadian taxpayer money going out the door without anybody seeing what it is about, what the accountability mechanisms might be or if the money is being spent wisely.² It is just another cheque that the minister is trying to bring in front of the Canadian people. The question · 26 wordsWill he please tell us if he is going to entertain any input on the accountability mechanism assigned to the $1.7 billion of new taxpayer money?
