Mr. Speaker, federal funding for active transport is suffering from a lack of government action.
Across Quebec, towns and organizations have submitted projects and bids, but there has been radio silence from Ottawa. Salaberry-de-Valleyfield has until April 21, next Tuesday, to start work on a bike path. Otherwise, the price guarantee for the work will expire, the town will have to put it out to tender again and it will cost more.
How is it possible that, with just four days to go before the deadline, the town still has not heard anything? It has been waiting for a response for two years now.
