Mr. Speaker, my question is directed to the President of the Treasury Board. It has to do with highway 416 in eastern Ontario.
The current Ontario government's lack of commitment to eastern Ontario was never better illustrated than the recent suggestion of a user pay highway from the 401 into the nation's capital. The federal government's commitment to this project on a shared cost basis is well known and I applaud the minister for condemning outright the idea of a toll road.
With no interest in financing the toll road, what alternative for getting the project moving is the minister exploring at this time?
