Thank you, Mr.
Speaker. In
response to the point of order, yesterday when the debate was going on we were all talking about the projects that were going on. There was a lot of reference to the different projects that were out there and a lot of reference to the projects that were in question — the ones that were being eliminated as a result of the $1.5 million cut. Clearly, the Deh Cho project was one of them. I felt, you know, that I’d have been upset if a project was getting eliminated from my riding. It’s a fact. We know that exists. We know there would have been $300,000 spent in the Minister’s riding, so I made reference to it. It’s a fact; it exists. I didn’t think that I was, as the Member said yesterday, impugning his motives. I wasn’t suggesting in any way, shape or form that the Minister had any motive in this thing, simply that having a project eliminated from his riding may be upsetting.
That’s it for now. I’ll save the rest for the next two.
