Mr. Gabriel Ste-Marie (Joliette, BQ)

Laser beams are not what they used to be, Mr. Speaker. The federal government is bringing the deadline to submit infrastructure projects forward by two years. If Quebec fails to meet the deadline, the federal government will keep $2.7 billion that is owed to our cities. It is bullying our municipalities and threatening to keep every cent that is not spent by March 31. Meanwhile, yesterday, the federal government announced a new $1.6‑billion infrastructure project to fight climate change. Is that program being funded with the same money it plans to steal from municipalities at the end of March?
