Artifact building plan irresponsible: Opposition

as published on Yahoo News Feb 13, 2007

PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND (CBC) - Planning a new building to house the province's artifacts without consultation is irresponsible, P.E.I.'s Liberals say "It's going to his home riding and we're not seeing a business plan," Liberal MLA Carolyn Bertram told CBC News.

"We asked for it or I asked for it from Minister [of Development and Technology Michael] Currie in the legislature. It was never tabled. All that was tabled in the legislature was a conceptual drawing of this facility. And I think that's a sad statement, and it's a lack of responsibility as well."

Bertram said the proposed building is too important to become a political prize for the Progressive Conservatives to wave around at election time.
