Nor do I think it's any clearer that the government doesn't really have the will to carry out the project. What we're seeing is that the government is announcing crumbs. I'm not saying that $500 million is peanuts. You'll agree, however, that there's a long way to go if such an amount is paid out over six years, in $100 million increments, when studies have already been carried out for years. It's clear that the government doesn't have the political will to move the project forward.
What disappoints me is that the government doesn't have the honesty to tell Canadians that it no longer intends to proceed with the project. Instead, it announces crumbs to try to keep hope alive. I find this deeply cynical because, in 10, 15 or 20 years, the government will still be promising people this infamous HFR, but they will no longer believe it and will be disillusioned. I don't understand why you continue to do this. If you're going to commit, you have to commit for real.
