“The government is spending $200 million on a spaceport that only costs $70 million to build, while the private company leases it for just $13,000. Why are Canadians paying so much money for this?”

“Mr. Speaker, to describe a gullible listener, we used to say, “I have some swampland in Florida for you.” Now, thanks to the Minister of Defence, we can say a Canadian version: “I have a gravel pit in Nova Scotia for you.” At the low cost of just $200 million, the Liberals are trying to build a spaceport. The problem is that the company that is leasing it is paying just $13,000, and construction will cost only $70 million. If the construction is $70 million, and the lease is only $13,000, why are Canadians forking out $200 million?”

“I want the minister to show the House the lease agreement. I also want him to explain why Liberal insiders lobbied for it and benefit from it.”

“Mr. Speaker, my colleague begged the Liberals to try to have some respect for this place and answer the questions, but that is the essence of the scam. It is just illusions. The Liberals have figured out how to turn a gravel pit into a money pit. It is more costs and more debt, all on the national credit card. If everything is above board and hunky-dory, as the minister claims, why does he not table in the House the lease agreement and give us the details? While he is at it, maybe he could explain why it is Liberal insiders who lobbied for it and Liberal insiders who would benefit from it. Will the minister come clean today and give us a copy of the agreement?”
