Mr. Speaker, it appears that the Prime Minister is once again giving the people of Edmonton the back of his hand.
First, there was the broken promise on the portrait gallery, then the Conservatives denied funding for the Edmonton folk music festival and then they failed to back Edmonton's bid to host the World Expo.
The Conservatives have no trouble finding 50 million bucks to build gazebos in Muskoka, but when it comes to funding Edmonton's Royal Alberta Museum, it appears they are weaseling out of their previous commitment.
Why does the government continue to show such disrespect for the capital of the province of Alberta?
