So, one can see doubly why the Conservatives decided to fund a project like this; their economic strategy is based on partisan political considerations. not the overall health of the economy and where stimulus money is best spent. That's why John Baird doesn't want to review if where the money going is being spent properly or if any economic benefit comes out of it. Why would they wanna ruin their strategy of throwing money at ridings where they hope to retain or gain seats if its shown there's been no material benefit overall? @Geordie Tom, Nice try, but a) Its a BQ riding, and even more importantly, b) It’s a vacant riding, as the BQ member resigned there to run for the PQ.
