Mr. Speaker, the economic benefit of this project to the community is enormous. Whenever projects are bid in our communities, the benefit that flows to the local contractors for site work and labour work — in most cases that’s all we see anyhow, but for us that’s a boost in our economy.

Again, the construction contractors in this community are waiting for this project to take place. They’ve been waiting for some time. Again, I keep telling them all, “It’s coming; it’s coming.” I’d like to ensure that the Minister makes sure that we do stick on track, try to get this project on the ground this summer. It’s a crucial piece of infrastructure that we need in our communities.
