Intergovernmental Relations
A debate about federal-provincial relations. The Conservatives accused the Liberals of not respecting the provinces and causing tension. The Liberals defended their record, citing recent funding announcements for Quebec infrastructure. Mostly partisan sparring with little substantive discussion of how to improve intergovernmental relations.
“That makes me sad. The other party should spend even more of your money on my preferred programs in Quebec.”
