Mr. Speaker, that just plain is not true. Manitoba has been working on this issue for eight years. Three years ago the U.S. requested an IJC referral. The government refused. Yesterday in the House the government took full credit for something it did not do.
The governor of North Dakota said that the only reason the diversion would not be opened July 1 is the weather, not because the Prime Minister called.
When will the government quit misleading Canadians and embarrassing us with its Liberal spin and actually find a solution to this problem?
