Steven MacKinnon, Minister of Transport and Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
“Our government is spending hundreds of millions of dollars to protect French culture and language, which the Bloc Québécois did not ask for. We are also building a high-speed train for the environment, but the Bloc opposes it.”
“Mr. Speaker, let us talk about generations and generational investments. We have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in Quebec’s and Canada’s French-speaking culture. That is something that the Bloc Québécois did not even ask for in its budget requests. We, in the Liberal Party of Canada, are investing hundreds of millions of dollars in francophone culture and in the survival of the French language. When it comes to the environment, why is the Bloc Québécois turning its back on the high-speed train, the greenest transportation project in Canadian history? The Bloc Québécois is now opposed to that project. This is an environmental revolution.”
