Gabriel Hardy Conservative
“The government is spending money, but nothing is getting built. Its major projects office spent $42 million in one year and did not approve a single project. The government needs to actually approve projects and get things moving.”
“Mr. Speaker, things are moving forward at speeds not seen in generations. As I said in my speech, the current pace of things is unprecedented. Nothing is getting built, but money is being spent. The government allocated $42 million to the Major Projects Office, which has been scrutinizing paperwork for a year now without a single project getting off the ground. We, the Conservatives, are not the ones saying so. It comes from testimony given in committee by the Major Projects Office director, who said that $42 million had been spent without a single project being approved. It would be a good thing if that kind of speed, not seen in generations, could move faster than a Ford Model T and finally move our country forward.”
