Evidence of meeting #28 for Finance in the 39th Parliament, 1st Session. (The original version is on Parliament’s site, as are the minutes.) The winning word was investment.

Fair point. I take it that you'll be demanding that the Government of British Columbia match the $108 million we're investing, as the federal government.

I actually have a press conference at 2:30--come to the lobby here--to talk about Minister Coleman's announcement this morning. I'm running off to that right now.

All right. He'll be happy to hear we've made a pretty positive commitment to this. Thanks.
I have a really quick question. Mr. McCallum chaired an expenditure reduction committee for cabinet over two years and claimed it found $12 billion in savings. Were any of you consulted on the cuts that the previous government made?

On that note, good luck with your press conference, Madam Lewis.
Thank you all very much for your input today, for your briefs and for the time you've taken to be with us. If you think this was tense, wait until the end of the process. We have another month of this to go. Thank you once again.
This meeting is adjourned.
