Thank you, Madam Speaker. The Minister is right; we are going into potentially our third year where a major piece of the city's summer recreational options, especially for families and kids, is not going to be safe. I think it's truly a shame that between our two governments we can't arrive at a way to do that. The eventual devolving the ownership and responsibility of the park to the city is a good one, but in the meantime why isn't it that at least our government can't take this really important service on? We already look after the rest of the park. Why can't we roll this into the same service, make sure it's provided, make sure it is safe, enjoyable and accessible this summer? This is the third year going on, why can't we do this?
