Pierre Poilievre Conservative
“The government is spending money on a railway that has built nothing. The bosses got big bonuses, farmers will lose their land, and each family will have to pay $4,000. Why is the Prime Minister doing this during a recession?”
“Mr. Speaker, it just creates jobs for their Liberal friends. This “phantom” railway already has 13 vice-presidents, all of whom have received a $2.3-million bonus, even though not a single inch of track has been laid in Canada. Now, the Prime Minister wants to force farmers to lose their land and charge every Canadian family $4,000. Why is he proposing yet another white elephant when we are already in a recession?”
