Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has spread nothing but disinformation on these very projects.
He was billions of dollars under in estimating the original cost, before the shovels were even in the ground. He claimed the thing would pay itself back in five years. Now we know it is 20 years.
Now we have learned that the majority of the jobs are going to go to foreign workers. That is right: Struggling single moms and seniors will pay $1,000 in taxes, mostly to pay the wages of foreign workers who will not even keep the money here.
Why does the Prime Minister so thoroughly disdain and disrespect Canadian workers that he wants to send their money to another country?
