Mr. Speaker, I say to the Prime Minister there is no constitutional mandate that he has to only offer one-third of the cost for a lot of the infrastructure development that needs to go into place. Why can they not up what they are prepared to share in terms of the cost?
While they are at it, why do they not do it in their own jurisdiction on aboriginal reserves where they do not have any provinces to deal with? That is a place where the federal government can establish an example that provinces could follow and do on reserves what needs to be done right across the country: have standards and have them enforced.
