Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities confirmed yesterday that Quebec would not receive any of the $328 million it had asked for to help finance its action plan on climate change. He then indicated that, instead, the Conservatives were going to hand over $240 million for public transit. Minister Claude Béchard challenged this, saying that this had already been announced in 2005 by the previous government and it was therefore not a new announcement, but one that had been around for several years.
Why is the minister trying to deceive Quebeckers this way?
