“You say I'm not doing enough for Europe. But I am! See, I like Europe's high-speed rail. Canada should spend lots of money on high-speed rail too. High-speed rail is good for Quebec. Why doesn't the Bloc want high-speed rail anymore?”

During Oral Questions, the Bloc Quebecois criticized the Prime Minister and Liberals on various topics, accusing them of not standing up to the US and Europe on pipelines, pesticides, and digital services taxes, while the Liberals defended their record and attacked the Bloc for not supporting Quebec businesses and culture.
“Why are you attacking Quebec jobs? This big train will create many jobs in Quebec. I want the jobs. The train is very big. It will make us lots of money. You should not give up.”
“The Bloc accused us of threatening Quebec culture. But they didn't vote for our budget that gave $700 million to culture! They don't really care about culture. They just want to complain. And they think Canada isn't friends with Europe. But everyone else knows we are friends with Europe.”
