Mr. Speaker, here is another example of the Conservatives' lack of political responsibility when it comes to issues in the Quebec City area.
In an interview, the member for Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière implied that all three levels of government would make up the $13 million shortfall to complete work on the water system in Shannon.
Does the Minister of National Defence confirm what his colleague said and, if so, does he realize that he is relieving his government of its responsibility and shifting two thirds of that responsibility onto the Government of Quebec and the City of Shannon, when it is the federal government that is responsible for this work?
