Mr. Speaker, the Liberals do not have to go to Calgary to find out why westerners feel alienated. I can tell them right here.
CFB Calgary has been closed. Its land can help address the educational, social and health concerns of Calgarians. However, this land is earmarked for sale to private developers for top dollars.
Mount Royal College needs land to expand. This government has refused Mount Royal's request.
Our veterans desperately need a hospital in Calgary. These are the men and women who have defended our nation. Sadly, the land that was set aside for this hospital is in the process of being sold to private developers.
Habitat for Humanity, a charitable organization, builds low cost housing for young Canadian families. It is interested in securing some affordable land. CFB Calgary would have been an ideal location.
The Prime Minister can still intervene. Calgarians plead to him to please do so.
