Mr. Speaker, in my prebudget submission to the Minister of Finance, I highlighted the Colchester Civic Centre as a priority by the province and the municipality as an infrastructure project that is shovel-ready. In fact, the province has already committed $10 million to the project, the municipality $11 million and the community $4 million.
Both the mayors of Truro and the municipality of Colchester wrote to the minister in December asking for federal participation.
I wonder if the minister could indicate when a positive answer might be forthcoming?
