Mr. Speaker, last week, the environment minister misled the committee when he said that funding for the protection of the St. Lawrence was included in the budget for the Great Lakes. The minister said, “...the St. Lawrence as part of those expenditures, since it is the basin that drains the Great Lakes.
However, the St. Lawrence is not in fact funded under the Great Lakes program.
Would the minister like to take this opportunity to correct his error?
