Adam Vaughan on wasteful government spending

May 21, 2015

Stephen Harper’s Conservatives have an absolutely startling record of fiscal mismanagement. As we approach the federal election, it is vitally important that Canadians are provided with a full understanding of the choices and priorities of this Prime Minister. Here’s what ten years of wasteful government spending under the Conservatives looks like:

$757 million

on partisan government advertising

$21 million

auditing many of Mr. Harper’s Senate appointments

$10 billion

a year on outside consultants

$7 million

on photo shoots and backdrops

Millions

on court challenges denying veterans’ benefits and refugee health care

In the upcoming election, Canadians will have the option of a better, Liberal government that will offer a sound plan and real fiscal responsibility.

Liberals are committed to ending Mr. Harper’s wasteful practices.
