“We just agreed to spend $10 billion on infrastructure with Quebec's premier. The Conservatives only show up to take away money for Quebec's transit, tramway, and high-speed rail projects.”
“Mr. Speaker, we hear a lot of things in the House. The member talks about respecting the Quebec nation, but where was he last Tuesday when, together with the Premier of Quebec, we announced $10 billion for infrastructure in Quebec? The only time we see the Conservatives is when they are trying to deprive Quebeckers of the money needed for infrastructure, take $2.75 billion from Quebec City for the tramway or deny Quebec a high-speed rail project that will bring us into the modern era and that we should have undertaken decades ago.”
