Letters: A 'mild rebuttal' on MP's contribution to Aldergrove crossing

Editor: While I support Mr. Kydd’s right to his opinions ( Taking Credit? Take responsibility’ The Times, Sept. 16), I feel I have to offer a mild rebuttal.

About six years ago I sent letters to Mr. Warawa and Mr. Coleman regarding some federal infrastructure funding allocated  for the expansion of the Aldergrove border crossing. My letters asked the question where did the money get spent as it was not for its intended purpose.

Mr. Warawa responded immediately with a phone call and a follow up email, the gist of which indicated he was in contact with the appropriate federal officials for an answer.

Nothing from Mr. Coleman, in spite of a follow up letter and two visits to his office in Aldergrove.

Recently Mr. Warawa has been vocal regarding the upgrades at Aldergrove, Mr. Coleman, silent.

Now it may be a bit of a stretch of Mr. Warawa to claim responsibility for the expansion taking into consideration the plans for the current design used to be on the Border Service web page dated 1991, but I am sure he was or is the only local politician that took the time to become involved, ergo his justification for his statements?
