“Nova Scotia leased land for $13,500 a year, but the federal government gives the company $55,000 every single day. I want the member to explain how paying so much more helps taxpayers.”
“Mr. Speaker, I am going to ask the question that my other colleague asked. The Province of Nova Scotia leased this land for approximately $13,500 per year, yet through this federal agreement, Maritime Launch Services receives $55,000 every single day of the year. Will the member explain exactly how a 400,000% markup over the provincial lease rate serves the interest of the Canadian taxpayer?”
