Mr. Speaker, it is really disappointing to see the government with its blinders on. The report by the Federal Bureau of Regional Development on this project claims that the revenue generated by visitors to the park will be less than half of what is projected. The cost of maintaining the facility will be almost $900,000 per year higher than projected and to run the park properly it might have to triple its payroll.
The evidence indicates that this patronage park will run deficits every year.
I ask the Prime Minister whether his government is prepared to bail out this money pit year after year, or is the Prime Minister prepared to show some leadership and pull the plug on the boondoggle-no more federal funding?
