Bill 49: Supplementary Appropriation Act (Infrastructure Expenditures), No. 3, 2021-2022, Carried

Mr. Speaker, I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Range Lake, that Bill 49, Supplementary Appropriation Act (Infrastructure Expenditures), No. 3, 20212022, be read for the third time. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Minister. The motion is in order. To the motion? Member for Frame Lake.

Merci, Monsieur le President. This is the infrastructure supplementary appropriation, and I voted against this at second reading but there's a couple of items that really cause me a lot of concern in here, is the use of fish habitat compensation funds for a bridge replacement in a completely different ecosystem. I just don't believe that that's appropriate, and I don't want to be seen as supporting use of fish habitat compensation funds in this manner

And secondly, the $2.75 million regarding the dispute around the letter of credit replacement fund for the Deh Cho Bridge, I believe that there needs to be a better and more transparent explanation to the public about what that is all about. I've heard complaints from a number of constituents about that as well so I will not be supporting this bill. Thanks, Mr. Speaker.
