Mr. Speaker, two days ago, I questioned the Minister of Transport about the expansion of highway 175. The minister remained vague and simply played on words. This is a simple question. If Ottawa is prepared to pay 50% of the cost of constructing the highway, it must also be prepared to pay 50% of cost overruns.
Does Ottawa's commitment include paying 50% of cost overruns?
That is what we want to know, and that is what is preventing this project from moving forward.
