Your MLA’s Last Political Appeal on the Airport Tunnel

ahayer — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 00:42:52 +0000

The following link is a copy of Mr. Kang’s exchange with the Transport Minister on a the Airport Tunnel during the budget committee meeting. According to the Edmonton Journal’s Trish Audette, Mr. Kang mentioned the Airport Tunnel on at least 35 occasions.

This is a sample of the exchange:

Mr. Kang: Have you found that $485 million now? I only need $98.6 million for my airport tunnel, so that’s lots of money there,Luke.

Mr. Ouellette: You know what? The airport tunnel is not mine. I’d love to help you if I possibly could.

Mr. Kang: Okay. Go to page 419. We will come back to that.

Mr. Ouellette: I know there’s not a nicer guy in Calgary working ashard for their constituents as you for that tunnel, but you might have to just write a cheque to the city to help them out, and they’ll pay you back later.

The following link is a copy of Mr. Kang’s letter to Mr. Devinder Shory, MP Calgary North East regarding the Calgary Airport Tunnel. We are encouraging Mr. Shory to lobby the federal government to provide their share of the funding for this tunnel.

Finally, the following link is a copy of Mr. Kang’s letter to all MLAs for the Province of Alberta regarding the Airport Tunnel.

The deadline for the province and the federal government to fund the tunnel is Monday, March 1st 2010.

Thank you.
