Mr. Speaker, this does not help the economy.
The GDP numbers should wake the Conservatives up. The economy needs further stimulus, not an abrupt end to the money already promised.
In Saint-Eustache, for instance, work was delayed because of federal red tape. The city is not to blame, but the Conservatives are using that as an excuse to cut funding for the bridge to Îles Corbeil.
Instead of cutting off the stimulus funding, why not prolong or even expand the program?
