Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of State for Infrastructure and Communities.
Before gutting infrastructure funding, the federal government contributed customarily one-third of water and sewer infrastructure costs.
Today, Herring Cove residents in my riding face prohibitive costs for long-awaited services because the federal government has reduced its contribution to less than one-sixth of the cost.
Will the minister agree to get beyond the rhetoric and ensure concretely that Herring Cove residents will finally get their service and water at a cost they can afford?
