All that was there were commitments by the prior government, with no money in place. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"930337\" data-originallang=\"en\">My colleague, the <a data-HoCid=\"78771\" href=\"/politicians/lawrence-cannon/\" title=\"Lawrence Cannon\">Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities</a>, and the <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">Prime Minister</a> said that we would come up with that money. The hon. member should check the record. Manitoba got its money. The floodway is progressing as it should. That member should be ashamed. She did nothing for Manitoba.</p>",
