Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to inform the House that the Government of Canada, in partnership with the Government of Manitoba, at noon today has offered $2.2 million toward the economic sustainability of the Port of Churchill and the Hudson Bay railway: $1.8 million for needed infrastructure improvements and $400,000 for enhanced marketing strategies. I thank the Secretary of State for Western Diversification for his prompt response. The Port of Churchill is vital to the economy of Manitoba.
In the House of Commons on April 30th, 2003. See this statement in context.
