Discussion · Government Orders
Mario Simard Bloc Québécois
“The government wants to cut rules for big projects, but the only example they give is a pipeline costing at least $44 billion. We should spend that money helping people who are struggling, like raising pensions for seniors.”
“Mr. Speaker, the Liberals have been telling us all evening that we might need to reduce the impact of regulatory constraints to promote trade corridors and infrastructure projects. However, the only infrastructure project they have mentioned so far is a pipeline that would cost at least $44 billion. I am sure my colleague can tell us everything we could do with $44 billion to help people who are struggling with an affordability crisis and perhaps even seniors who are having trouble making ends meet. Increasing the old age security pension might be a good idea.”
