Mr. Speaker, the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador has requested the federal Conservative government to upgrade and expand the Wabush Airport and build new airports for Nain in the north and for south Labrador. The Conservatives have failed to implement these necessary infrastructure projects. Why are the Conservatives refusing to fund critical infrastructure in northern communities, leaving people with sporadic and inadequate services? There is plenty of money for advertising for the Conservatives' platform. Why not spend some money on infrastructure for northern communities?
