Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to confirm that the federal government remains firmly committed to the original conditions attached to the transfer of Fort York to the city of Toronto.
Both the Department of Public Works and Government Services and my department recognize the importance of Fort York to our national heritage and to tourism.
My colleague can rest assured that the minister of public works and myself will make sure that the provisions of the covenant are respected. This is an important piece of national heritage. We are devoted to it. We have offered to discuss it and we will support it.
