Government Priorities

During question period on government priorities, the Bloc Québécois said the Prime Minister says one thing and does another, pointing to his campaign platform’s emphasis on climate change while a pipeline moves ahead, and arguing the government keeps giving in to American tariffs. The Liberal reply defended the government’s record in Quebec, citing $10 billion for infrastructure such as hospitals, public transit and schools, a groceries and essentials benefit for millions of Quebeckers, reductions in child poverty, and funding for transit, port and rail projects, and said the Bloc Québécois has accomplished little over 30 years.Written by AI from the debate.

Bloc Québécois
“The Prime Minister says one thing and does another. He talked about climate change in the election, but he is building a pipeline instead. He said he would deal with American tariffs, but he just keeps giving in to Donald Trump. How much longer does he think he can keep doing this?”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has a bad habit of saying one thing and doing another. For example, in his campaign platform, the phrase “climate change” appeared 28 times, while the word “pipeline” did not appear even once, yet it is his pipeline that takes priority. Another example is that he said he would deal with the tariffs imposed by Donald Trump last July. In the meantime, he keeps making concessions to Donald Trump, who was still insisting as recently as yesterday that he wants nothing to do with free trade. Does the Prime Minister think he can keep saying one thing and doing another for much longer?
