Mr. Speaker, the governing Liberals are proving once again that they are no friend of Saskatchewan. The last federal budget hit Saskatchewan with cutbacks in agriculture, the Crow rate and an increase in fuel tax.
In the face of this sacrifice in Saskatchewan the minister of public works has the nerve to announce that the government is giving $4 million to the Harbourfront Centre in Toronto.
The government cannot find money for farm support, but it can fund cultural centres. It says it no longer has money for grain transportation but it will continue to fund fat, gold plated MP pension plans.
The Liberals have no cash to stop booze and gun running into my province from the United States but it can find millions of dollars for gun control registration that will have no effect on crime.
The Liberal government can borrow billions of dollars to fund its own pet projects at the expense of hard working, taxpaying farmers.
It is clear that this government is no friend of Saskatchewan and her future generations.
