“Mr. Speaker, the hon. member mentioned that the Bloc supports Bill C-26. The key thing is that the bill would give the Liberal Minister of Finance a blank cheque to spend $1.7 billion with no guarantee of results, targets or accountability to build homes. With those concerns, why does the Bloc support the bill?”

Mr. Speaker, Claims · 100 wordsI explained that in what my colleague referred to as my wonderful speech.I explained that, when we were looking at the estimates, I asked the Minister of Finance a question, and he answered it.I asked him whether he had negotiated with Quebec and whether he was committed to ensuring that Quebec would receive its share of funding with no strings attached.What we understood from the minister’s answer and from our interactions with the department is that the government was taking into account the unique nature of Quebec’s housing construction ecosystem this time and for this particular bill.Reasoning · 65 wordsThe Bloc Québécois always asks the government to send Quebec transfers with no strings attached, 1and we make a huge fuss when the government refuses to do so.However, when the government decides to transfer the money with no strings attached, when it recognizes that the matter falls under Quebec’s exclusive jurisdiction and that Quebec is better at managing it, then we support the government.Positioning · 15 wordsThen, the other nine provinces and territories can figure out the rest on their own.PositioningPartly on point
