First I'll state that the Parliament Buildings are part of our heritage and should be repaired! One of the biggest stumbling blocks, no pun intended, is they house so many different entities; Senate, R.C.M.P., Parks Canada, Treasury Board and many others with some of the following in charge of things- The House of Commons, in which: 36 have been accused of spousal abuse 7 have been arrested for fraud 19 have been accused of writing bad cheques 117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses 3 have done time for assault 71 repeat 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges 8 have been arrested for shoplifting 21 currently are defendants in lawsuits, and 84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year. Canada, I give you our Members of Parliament!
