Memorial funding

Re: Parties Disagree On Holocaust Memorial Funding, Dec. 13.

I have a great deal of respect for Liberal MP Joe Volpe, however, it is distressing and
frustrating to see him continue to use the proposed Holocaust monument in Ottawa
as a political football. Mr. Volpe is free to continue to disagree with the funding
structure of the monument. However, the new legislation clearly spells out the
funding structure and, to the credit of his own Liberal party, it joined the other three
parties to unanimously pass Bill C-442, an Act to Establish a National Holocaust
Monument. It is time for him to move on.
Priority should be placed on expediting passage of the Bill in the Senate so that the
process of funding and building the Holocaust monument can start as quickly as
possible.
