As the facts emerge about the G20 summit and the accompanying demonstrations, there is more and more evidence that civil liberties were very seriously violated. The Liberal Party brought Canada the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the central part of our national Constitution. As such, the party is firmly committed to civil liberties, and objects to all unfair violations of our constitutional freedoms.
The Harper government also wasted a tremendous amount of money on unnecessary beautification projects leading up to the G20. Approximately $50 million was spent in the Conservative Industry Minister's Muskoka riding on projects supposedly related to the G20, but really of highly dubious value. The Auditor-General of Canada will soon be releasing her report on this matter. We need to wait for that report in order to have all of the facts. However, it seems that there was much waste, and a great lack of transparency in terms of how the G20 money was allocated and spent. |
