“The government spent $200 million to lease a spaceport, but only got a gravel parking lot. People tied to the Liberal party are making money from this project. Why are Liberal insiders getting rich off taxpayers on this deal?”
“Mr. Speaker, when someone leases a new vehicle, they get a new vehicle, but when the Liberals leased a spaceport, all they got for $200 million was a gravel parking lot. I am sure it had nothing to do with the fact that it is in a Liberal riding or that the justice minister’s former staffer was the lobbyist for the project or that former Liberal premiers are on the company’s advisory board. Clearly, there are no Liberal insiders getting rich at all. Canadians have only one question: Why are so many Liberal insiders getting so rich off taxpayers on this boondoggle of a lease?”
