“What the member said is not true. Our budget is fair and helps every part of Canada, including Quebec. We have supported major projects across the country, like the port of Churchill and the port of Montreal, which will help create over 8,000 jobs. The member should look at everything our government has done.”
“Madam Speaker, that is, quite frankly, not true. Whether it is the spring update budget or, I can anticipate, the budget coming out later this week, what we find is a budget that is fair and that addresses every region of the country, including the province of Quebec. What we have seen are major developments, like the port of Churchill, worth well over $1 billion. We have seen a mining company, worth well over $1 billion, through the Major Projects Office. Let us think of the small businesses that will be enhanced, with 8,000-plus indirect jobs, because of the port of Montreal. I wonder if the member would reflect on the many things the government has done. I do not have time to expand on them because of time limitations.”
