Liberal on Business of Supply 2026-05-26

73 words · 4 sentences · 5 clauses

Replying to Sandra Cobena (Conservative)

“Mr. Chair, I am not talking down anything. I am actually asking very simple questions, and I am getting zero answers. The transport committee has recommended that the Canada Infrastructure Bank be abolished because it benefited Liberal-appointed insiders and, in fact, failed to fill infrastructure gaps. Why are the Liberals doubling down on a failed policy and refusing to follow the gold standard practices of other sovereign wealth funds?”
