Mr. Speaker, the federal funding promised for the Laval arena was to be used to build a sports complex consisting of an arena for large sporting events and two skating rinks for the Laval community. The government had agreed to fund the project and then it backed out. Honestly, it is difficult to understand the government's reasoning.
Will the minister stop hiding behind false pretexts and excuses and finally honour the commitment he made to the people of Laval?
