Harper touts the national scheme as the richest and most forward-looking plan ever to restore and upgrade Canada's transportation system. The agreement calls for $2.2 billion over seven years for roads, bridges, tunnels, ports, public transit and more, including the Pacific Gateway plan. "These funds will be used on a cost-sharing basis to support provincial infrastructure priorities, including transportation, tourism, public transit, green energy and waste and water systems," said Campbell in a release. The announcement was made along the Kicking Horse Pass on the Trans-Canada Highway, where the feds have committed $64.2 million for upgrades and improvements. http://www.canada.com/theprovince/story.html?id=33f07287-76a0-41ed-bdc5-e75f687454ef

    Does anyone else see how foolish some of Murray Dobbin's comments are now, after the recent tax cut? This Builidng Canada fund was announced way back in July though, so there's no excuse for him to not know about it.<p>---<br>"George Bush has declared the war on terrorism to be the cause of his generation.

    I wonder how much is earmarked for the Pacific Gateway Terminus to facilitate the NAFTA superhighway?
