Mr. Speaker, my city of Saint John, which is the largest city in the province of New Brunswick, has never ever been in the mess that it is in today.
The city has lost over 20,000 people since the Liberals came into power. The city has lost its shipyard where the frigates were built. The city has lost its sugar refinery which was closed down by the government. The city does not have VIA Rail. As mayor I cut the ribbon at the new train station six months before I came to Ottawa . I cannot believe that the government does not have a vision like it should have.
How does the member see the government treating cities? Is Saint John, New Brunswick, the only city that is being treated in this manner, or is this the way the government treats all the cities across the nation?
