Joe Volpe, (L, Eglinton-Lawrence) went to get some media face time yesterday to push the federal government to increase funding for infrastructure upgrades. One assumes to prevent a disaster similar to the one in Minnesota.
He readily admitted that the Liberals did not make adequate infrastructure investments, but by calling for the Conservatives to do so, one gets the impression that he is simply covering Liberal backsides in case there is a collapse of a bridge under federal responsibility. In essence, "We told you so. Just ignore the fact the Liberals didn't do anything on the file while they were in power."
Since roads are generally a provincial responsibility, did you ever wonder how many bridges that is?
The Federal Bridge Corporation Limited is responsible for all of 9 structures.
And yes, the minister has had every one of them inspected over the past year.
If Joe bothered to read the news rather than focus on covering Liberal butts, he might be aware of that.
