Conservatives Dazzle the Media With Answers

Feds Slow To Respond

The federal Infrastructure Minister is all but ignoring Regina Mayor Pat Fiacco’s plea for action on the Building Canada fund.

Fiacco insists the government is dragging it’s feet on handing out the infrastructure funding and that the construction delays on the IPSCO Place redevelopment will cost an additional million dollars.

But Lawrence Cannon won’t speak to the media on the issue.

Instead releasing a written statement that acknowledges IPSCO Place was agreed to be a priority, but insists the process is continuing WITHOUT delay, following it’s intended course.

Other Saskatchewan Conservative MP’s have not returned calls for comment either. Gerry Ritz, who made the announcement on behalf of Cannon, declined to comment.

I added some bold text to highlight the problem.
