Mr. Speaker, the charade of hon. members opposite will become obvious when I look, for example, at dozens of projects where members of the reform/alliance party wrote to me seeking support because they saw that projects in their ridings were very good projects. I will look at the numbers for TJF projects: Kootenay—Columbia, $3.5 million for six projects; Nanaimo-Alberni, $2.3 million; Nanaimo—Cowichan, $1.3 million; Okanagan—Coquihalla, $478,000; Kootenay—Boundary—Okanagan, $2.5 million—
In the House of Commons on May 16th, 2000. See this statement in context.
