Mr. Speaker, to switch topics, my question is for the Minister of Transport.
The auditor general said that in 1993 to 1997 the federal government spent some $1.06 billion on highways. Three Liberal provinces received some 66% of that money while my province of Saskatchewan got only 3% and the west some 11.2%.
Why this shortcoming for my province and western Canada? Is it because we do not elect Liberals in the west?
