Mr. Speaker, it is my Edmonton day.
It is hard to answer that question as a yes or no, even though I know that is what the member would like me to do. It is hard because I would have to unpack what is in there. For example, with SDTC, first of all, there is a big announcement about funding but it is only $1 million for next year and then it is all going to mythically appear spontaneously after that. However, if we look at SDTC funding in the past, we have had projects that have received $6 million in funding in one shot. Therefore, I do not understand how in 2013 SDTC getting $1 million is actually something to celebrate.
There is a lot of smoke and mirrors. This is a bit of a shell game and if the member can prove to me that these sustainable development technology organizations are actually going to get this money, that is another question entirely. I do not think he can do that.
