“The Conservatives plan to cut spending. I want them to tell us which projects they will cut. Will they cut housing for seniors and students, or their agreement with Quebec?”

“Madam Speaker, the Conservatives have always been very clear about their austerity agenda, but we are still waiting to find out which projects they intend to cut and in which communities. Would you make cuts in your constituency, which I visited a few weeks ago for the opening of affordable housing projects for seniors and students? Would you cut the infrastructure agreement with the Government of Quebec, involving an investment of nearly $1 billion? Would you cut the 865 units we announced with Quebec three weeks ago for affordable housing, transitional housing and vulnerable people? What are you going to cut? Please, tell us.”

“Madam Speaker, as we know, economic turmoil is making life more expensive for Canadians and Quebeckers. In the economic update, we are investing to develop a very important manufacturing sector in Canada. I am talking about the agri-food system. Following the superdeductions we announced in the last budget, we are now announcing a strategic Canada Strong fund that will allow us to invest in our agri-food system to produce more goods here in Canada and lower grocery prices. That is what building Canada is about.”
