“The member across the way is wrong. Just because program funding has an end date does not mean it goes away. We renew and fund these programs again through our budget.”
“Mr. Speaker, I also have a lot of admiration and respect for that colleague across the way, but in this case, I have to challenge. We talked earlier today about mis- and disinformation, and I feel that this is a case of misinformation. We know that some of the projects and funding streams that we have will sunset. That does not mean that they go away. That means that they get reinvigorated as we pass bills in the House within our economic budget. I would like to say, regarding the member’s question, that it is part of our economic strategy each time we re-fund these programs.”
