Another Hole to Fill

MP Stan Keyes, whose Hamilton West riding has been plagued by the recent water main breaks, said Ottawa has been spending money on municipal infrastructure and will continue to. But he said it has to be balanced with the other priorities of the country.

“There is a point at which the federal government will not go into deficit,” he said. “We have to get into priority spending.”

While Keyes decried finger-pointing between various levels of government, he said Ontario could be doing more priority spending of its own.

“Maybe we don’t need tax cuts this year. Maybe we need to invest more in municipal infrastructure,” Keyes said. “I don’t think there is a resident on Locke Street who would disagree.”
