Mr. Chair, that was supposed to be $400 million, so I suppose that was a broken promise, and that is called Conservative balancing.
The Liberal government committed funds for the Pacific Gateway by 2008. The minister slowed that date to 2014, an extra six years.
Meanwhile, the U.S. recession has damaged the B.C. industry. We could have been selling lumber to Asia this year. By 2010, every other country would have grabbed the trade deals.
How does the minister explain this to the B.C. towns that are closing down?
