Mr. Speaker, I think Canadians are well aware that the big city mayors came to Ottawa, but they went away empty handed. They tried to persuade the government that our cities could not survive the continued neglect of the government.
It is time for a cabinet level commitment to reverse urban deterioration with strategic infrastructure investments. Is there any plan to do that? The minister says “let's have a new deal”, so where is the proposal? Where is the deal, not the rhetoric but the deal?
