Gabriel Ste-Marie Bloc Québécois
“Housing money is important, but the government is making bad choices elsewhere. It cut $5 billion from public transit and still gives a lot of help to oil companies.”
“Mr. Speaker, it is also a pleasure to work with the parliamentary secretary, particularly on social housing issues. Do I agree with those investments? They are important, but the government is also taking steps backwards. For example, there is $5 billion less for public transit, and we have other similar concerns. The government is taking several steps backwards, while still providing a lot of assistance to oil companies. The fact that the former environment minister is saying that the current government’s environmental policies, especially its support for oil companies, are worse than those under the Harper government is a big deal, and analysts are saying that he is absolutely right. In my opinion, the evidence is clear.”
