Hon. James S. Cowan (Leader of the Opposition):

Honourable senators, my question is for the Leader of the Government in the Senate.

Last week, during the parliamentary break, I spoke with officials of the Government of Nova Scotia, with the presidents of three Nova Scotia universities, and with the mayors of two of Nova Scotia's largest municipalities about the status of infrastructure funding under the budget.

In each case, I was told that they had absolutely no information or guidelines from the government and no idea as to what cost-sharing arrangements they would be expected to meet. When will the government let these partners know how and when money will flow to these infrastructure projects?
