Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Prime Minister.
The Kemano completion project in British Columbia has raised considerable concern.
During the election campaign in a letter to the Cheslatta Band of Burns Lake the Prime Minister made a commitment that if
elected his government would participate in the ongoing B.C. Utilities Commission hearings. He would make available all information in federal possession relevant to the hearings, and furthermore the government would remove the gag order on current and former employees with information pertinent to the proceedings. Alcan itself has requested federal participation in the hearings.
Is the Prime Minister prepared to live up to his election commitment today?
