Mr. Speaker, I have been made aware of the fact that most recently the arena that was identified for Rae Lakes has been decommitted and withdrawn from the capital plan and now set back for two more years by the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs without any consultation with the community. The leaders in the community had already informed the people that they would be getting an arena based on the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs commitment to the project.
I have also been informed that the decision on the setback of the capital project for an additional two years was made during the election when there were no Ministers in place in the department. Mr. Speaker, I realize that the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs has only recently inherited his new portfolio, but I will be asking the Minister what she will be doing about this issue later today. Thank you.
