Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of the Environment.
In 1974 the Ministry of the Environment leased a parcel of land in my riding for the construction of the Pacific environment
centre. The centre was never built, but the lease payment on the empty land is now $3.1 million annually and is likely to rise during the remaining 51 years of the lease.
Would the minister please tell the House what steps have been taken to end this wasteful spending?
