Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I
will be voting to support the motion as well.
I sit on the Standing Committee on Economic Development and Infrastructure. Along with my colleague Mr. Ramsay I think that investment in parks is very important. I would suggest that right now, in a time of some critical restraint on the part of this government, perhaps it’s not the highest priority.
I just have to comment as well on the fact that the information that was brought before the standing committee did not in any way indicate that there was investment money there for the Fred Henne Park. Maybe there’s other money from within under tourism product diversification or some other place from which they could get money for this venture. We have heard a lot about that particular expansion. But for something to come up like this at the eleventh hour that’s never been referred to before, to say that money was going to be…. The information given to the committee was that the money was going to be spent on something, and on the very last day we have a vote on this in the House, for information to come forward to say, “Oh, there was money going to be diverted to something else,” that is not acceptable.
I’ll be supporting the motion to delete. Thank you.
