Replying to Harb Gill (Conservative). The question was off topic, so this reply is judged against the motion.
“Mr. Speaker, while we debate billions in government spending, Canadians and Windsorites learned today about the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, and from Michigan officials, no less. This government is still silent about it. This project, as my colleague knows, is years behind schedule and nearly half a billion dollars over budget. If the government cannot even tell us clearly about one of the largest infrastructure projects in our country’s history, which Canadians paid for, by the way, how can Canadians have confidence in the government that it can properly manage the billions of dollars the government is asking us to approve today?”
