Replying to Mario Simard (Bloc Québécois)

“Madam Speaker, I cannot believe what I just heard. The Liberals know there are problems with Cúram, because they added $451 million for Cúram and the CRA in the economic update. It is absurd for them to claim that there are no cost overruns when they added $451 million in cost overruns in the update. Meanwhile, they are using their majority in committee to hide information. Yesterday, the minister repeated that Cúram is on budget. Do the Liberals understand that having a majority does not absolve them from being accountable to Quebeckers?”
