While the Conservative did initiate development of the Phoenix system, it was the Liberal government under the unelected Gerald Butts that made the disastrous decision to implement the system before adequate testing and development had been completed.

Liberal incompetence on this file is rising to legendary status in the hierarchy of idiocy.  

They've built an entire vote buying apparatus through the public sector labour unions leaders, but the silly geese just can't deliver the goods on payday, and we now learn that the Minister in charge has been entirely distracted from the task since April.  

You just can't make this stuff up!
