“We are focusing on Canadians' priorities, like costs and building high-speed rail. Bloc members used to support high-speed rail, but now they oppose it. They need to explain why they changed their minds.”
“Mr. Speaker, we make no apology for working tirelessly on Canadians’ priorities, on affordability, on delivering major projects and, yes, on major, unifying projects of national interest such as high-speed rail, which the Bloc MPs oppose, despite having supported it prior to the last election. What are they telling their constituents? The Bloc members made a solemn promise to support high-speed rail, but after receiving instructions from Mr. Plamondon, they are now against it. They need to explain their about-face.”
