Mr. Speaker, one wonders sometimes what the Liberals would do without the Canadian Alliance. The Liberals pretend to spend and the Canadian Alliance pretends that it is true when in fact the reality is something quite otherwise.
The mayor of Winnipeg calls the infrastructure program a joke. The Federation of Canadian Municipalities calls it a doomsday budget. This patchwork budget completely ignored the needs of communities.
With the absolute pittance devoted to infrastructure this year, can the Minister of Finance tell us which community gets to buy half a water treatment plant?
