That Harper and his boy Oliver (who is not qualified to be a Finance Minister in the first place), should take a significant amount of blame for the non-starting of ROF funding. To me, this is just another delaying tactic by the Harper government. I`d bet my last dollar that if the ROF was in Alberta, it`d be up and running by now. Can`t wait for the welcome change in government in 2015.

Wynne`s quotes........

“I need to set the record straight. First the federal allocation for provincial projects in Ontario under the $70 billion Building Canada Plan over 10 years, where we are investing $130 billion over 10 years . . . is $2.7 billion over 10 years,” she said.

“In June, we sent a draft application framework to the federal government, and they haven’t replied. They also haven’t set any deadlines with respect to this process.

Wynne added her government in June sent Ottawa an agreement on how it would access the federal funding and “we are still waiting for their response.”

“With every delay Canada’s persistent infrastructure gap widens and economic growth narrows. So the sum total of that is we need a federal partner that gets this and gets serious because with low interest rates and a federal surplus next year the time to act is right now,”
