Oral Questions
Infrastructure
“I'm excited to spend a lot of taxpayer money on this program. It will build many things.”
MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT
Hon. Gregor Robertson
Robertson rigidly repeats talking points about spending more on housing programs, especially 'Build Canada Homes', while dodging any pointed questions or commitments. He fills time with kind words about provinces that use federal money, but glosses over problems or details. Attacking Conservatives looks better than answering the point.
