Pierre Poilievre Conservative
“I oppose this bill. The government is not actually building the projects it promised, and its announcements do not help people who cannot afford food and rent. This bill also lets the government break its promise to approve projects within one year by causing delays.”
“Mr. Speaker, I think the minister missed the speech. Maybe I should give it all over again, but before I do, let me just point out that he says they have “started” on five projects. They have started looking at five projects, not actually building anything, and that is the reality. The Liberals think that if they imagine something, that if they say something or that if the Prime Minister gives a speech or the media gives him gushing praise, it is the equivalent of that thing actually happening, when in fact single moms cannot eat the Prime Minister’s speeches if they are low on money for groceries. People cannot pay their rent with the Prime Minister’s fake MOUs. They cannot fill their tanks with Liberal rhetoric and promises. We need reality. Yes, I do have comments on the bill, and I will repeat them. The bill would actually allow the government to violate its own promised one-year time limitation by delays at the front, delays in the middle and delays at the end. That is just one of the many criticisms that this bill deserves.”
