Mr. Speaker, construction of Quebec City's ice oval has been delayed.
The federal government promised to pay one-third of the cost of this infrastructure, but the promised money from the Building Canada fund may no longer be available. Last Friday, in response to our question, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Public Works and Government Services responded by talking about shipbuilding.
Can the Minister of Infrastructure, Communities and Intergovernmental Affairs take this more seriously and clearly indicate whether the federal government will keep its promise even if there are delays?
