Mr. Speaker, after eight years, the Prime Minister is not worth the cost. Just when one thinks that the NDP-Liberal government could not be even more out of touch, it goes ahead and nominates the CBSA as “unsung heroes” for the arrive scam. Recklessly spending 60 million taxpayer dollars and demonstrating some of the worse financial record-keeping we have ever seen is the opposite of “innovative and effective” procurement practices. The CBSA should be an example of how not to do government procurement. Why on earth would the government reward incompetence?

Mr. Speaker, I hope the government holds itself accountable. The arrive scam merely scratches the surface of the rot and corruption in the NDP-Liberal government. Its procurement system is seriously flawed and broken. For example, it paid KPMG, a consulting company, almost 700,000 taxpayer dollars to learn how to cut back on consultants. One cannot make up this lunacy. It has learned nothing. The question is simple: In the budget next week, will we see a cut to all of the corruption?

Madam Speaker, I too enjoy working with my friend on a number of committees. I always value her sage advice, her thoughtful questions and the probing way she too wants to get to the bottom of this. I think she touched upon a very important point. We are basically speaking in the House about GC Strategies and what it did to the procurement process within the arrive scam context. However, with respect to the broader point and to respond to my colleague, I think it is symbolic of what has been allowed to occur with the corrupt Liberal government. If it occurred with arrive scam, one only has to wonder how many other millions, if not billions, of wasted dollars have gone to other similar contractors and subcontractors, so I think there is an excellent opportunity to expand this in many other ways onto many other committees.
