Mr. Gerrard: Mr. Speaker, I understand there is a critical date for a decision by the Government which is December 31. Many are wondering why the NDP is seemingly in bed with the developer to rape the entire heritage habitat along the Bois des esprits forest, a forest which Mayor Glen Murray calls a bold visionary park, but for which the NDP government seemingly has to be dragged haltingly to the table. I would ask the Minister responsible for Water Stewardship (Mr. Ashton), that is river and lake stewardship, whether his Government will be the wielder of the axe, or is the minister going to today commit to acting by December 31-
Mr. Speaker: Order.
Mr. Gerrard: -to save all 80 acres.
Mr. Speaker: Order.
Hon. Gary Doer (Premier): We are dealing with the City of Winnipeg and the people adjacent to the area. The Minister of Housing has been working diligently on this issue, and we expect that we will have favourable partnerships on the area that the member has identified. I want to thank him for his comment that we are in bed with the developer. It has not, I do not think, happened in the last while that we were accused of that, Mr. Speaker. (full text) |
