Mr. Speaker, in the announcement he made during the summer of 2002 on the investment in the Trans-Canada Highway in New Brunswick, the Prime Minister said that highway 185 could wait one year, two years, five years.
Since that statement was made, five more people have been killed on highway 185, a highway that has already claimed 90 lives over the past 10 years.
Today, what does the Prime Minister have to say to Mrs. L'Italien, her daughter and the parents of the other victims, who have come to Ottawa to ask him to announce as soon as possible how much the federal government will invest to stop the deaths on highway 185?
