Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister announced money for this highway last August. We fully expected the province would wield the shovel, lay the asphalt and get on with the job. Instead it went to sleep for eight months, despite the fact we told it time and again there was nothing to prevent it from proceeding with the construction.
After eight months of slumber, the province has finally come alive, only to whine about the federal government. We think it should build the road. That is what is needed. We have been waiting for it to do that. Why has it not? Could it have anything to do with the fact that it is about to call a provincial election?
