Mr. Speaker, the latest census confirms that 80% of Canadians live in urban centres today.
While in opposition, the finance minister headed up an urban task force to propose solutions for urgent problems already plaguing our cities. Once in government, the Liberals tossed the proposals in the garbage and 10 years later municipalities are still waiting.
Recently the Minister of Finance offered a ray of hope stating “Our cities are entitled to a new deal”.
Could the minister tell Canadians what is the new deal to reverse the neglect of our Canadian municipalities?
