Mr. Speaker, I will tell us what is not common sense: spending $8 million on a barn. We just found out that the Prime Minister's Capital Commission spent $8 million to replace a barn at Rideau Hall. We have long said that the Prime Minister is not worth the cost after eight long years. While Canadians cannot afford a home, how is it that the Prime Minister is spending $8 million on a barn? By the way, was it made of gold?

Mr. Luc Berthold (Mégantic—L'Érable, CPC)

Mr. Speaker, after eight years of this Prime Minister, he is not worth the cost. The wasteful spending has spiralled out of control. Members will recall the $116 million spent on consultants at McKinsey, the $54 million on ArriveCAN and the $6,000 per night for a hotel room. Today we learned that the government wasted $8 million on a barn. How can the government spend $8 million on a barn on the Governor General's property when food banks are in such desperate need? Is spending $8 million on a barn on the grounds of the Governor General's residence really the Liberals' priority?
