Mr. Speaker, the Treasury Board President's interference in this matter is an abuse by a federal minister of his office for political gain. The Transport minister, clearly implied that while it was okay for the Treasury Board President to meddle with this particular file, the federal government will not be messing with other municipalities.
Why this particular municipality only? Is it because this is in the Treasury Board President's own riding where he has some personal political vendettas? Why did the transport minister, who is the lead minister on this file, allow this political interference?
