Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good morning everyone.
I'd like to thank my colleague from Joliette for his comments, which are always well-researched, well-articulated, and relevant. We may not always agree, but, when it comes to his approach, the member for Joliette sets the standard for us all.
Mr. Chair, we're discussing one of the most important parts of this omnibus bill. Our party opposes the creation of the Canada Infrastructure Bank. We think it's totally unacceptable to sneak such an important measure into an omnibus bill. Not only do we want the measure removed from the bill, but we also oppose the bank's creation entirely.
All the subsequent votes will reflect our position, as we will be voting against the measures.
