Mr. Speaker, provincial premiers are meeting in Ottawa today to talk about the economic crisis our country is facing and job insecurity. The need to reinvest in our infrastructure and funding for health care will also be on the agenda.
The federal government has an important role to play here, as it unilaterally cut $36 billion from provincial transfers.
Why is the Prime Minister boycotting the meeting of the Council of the Federation when it is discussing issues that are important to Canadians?
