Mr. Speaker, it is because we take the mandate that western Canadians gave us on May 2 very seriously and we campaigned hard on this issue.
I would like to ask the member for Churchill, if she is going to support this bill, since it would do everything for Churchill that was required and what it was asking for?
There would be $5 million each year for the next five years to help with its transition; $4 million to upgrade the port facility for better loading; and an extension of the $4 million package from western diversification.
This is all great news. The mayor of Churchill, Mike Spence, is totally in favour of this. Will that member stand and support this bill?
