Mr. Speaker, another federal wharf in my riding has been condemned. Many others in New Brunswick need urgent repairs. Federal wharves are the lifeblood of coastal communities, but they are being neglected by the Liberals. Just as inland economies rely on highways and airports to get products to market, Atlantic Canada relies on wharves to export high-quality seafood to the rest of Canada and around the world.
In the last election, the Prime Minister promised an extra $250 million for federal wharves, but the budget did not include a nickel. Is this another Liberal broken promise?
