Federal Government – No Funding for Tunnel
After reading the press article in the Calgary Herald entitled City stonewalled on tunnel cash and reviewing the Airport Trail Access Committee press release, I am completely mystified and profoundly disappointed that the Federal Government under Prime Minister Stephen Harper (Calgary Southwest) is not supportive of the project construction and financial funding of the project for all Canadians.
Federal Minister of Environment, Jim Prentice along with Federal Conservative MP from Calgary and Alberta, in stating that the federal government doesn’t have the money to participate in the project shows a profound lack of leadership support and understanding of the economic, environmental and quality of life needs of the residence of Northeast Calgary and beyond.
I will raise the issue in the Legislature upon the return of the Legislature on February 4, 2010 on behalf of Calgary McCall voters.
Sincerely,
Darshan S. Kang, MLA
Calgary McCall
