Mr. Speaker, what a shame. I thought the finance minister was going to respond.
The previous government did not act fast enough before its demise to secure the funding for this project and the Conservative government does not seem willing to act either.
For the thousands of people in Hamilton whose jobs depend on Stelco, and the 4,250 people who will seek emergency health care due to air quality related illnesses this year, I ask the finance minister, will he commit to supporting this important environmental and industrial project now?
