The one thing all his patronage appointments do have in common is their close personal friendship with the Prime Minister.</p>\n<p>LeBlanc, Gauthier, Bryden, Nixon, Carstairs, Wright, Longstaffe and Stevenson. Mr. Speaker, it is like a roll call for Santa's reindeer. In fact Rudolph would probably get a patronage appointment because of his red nose.</p>\n<p>My supplementary question is for the Deputy Prime Minister.
