Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Finance has written to the finance minister of Ontario to explain that $208 million of the $538 million will be diverted from the coal plants into public transit, making the coal plant plan impossible. The minister has effectively cancelled the single largest initiative to reduce greenhouse gases in this country. That was an entirely made in Canada plan. It would have helped replace coal-generated electricity with hydro-generated electricity from Manitoba and Quebec.
Given the urgency of global warming, will the minister immediately restore all funding to this made in Canada solution?
