Mr. Speaker, more questions have surfaced concerning the diversion of funds from highway 104 in Nova Scotia and the role of the public works minister.
The Prime Minister has said this is an issue for the Minister of Transport, and when one of his caucus members called it misappropriation of funds she was told to keep quiet.
If the minister of public works was such a minor player in all this, how could he have announced the funding diversion in February 1994 when according to a letter from the minister of transportation federal and provincial officials amended the agreement only three months after that? On whose authority was the minister of public works acting?
