Mr. Speaker, the budget for the building Canada fund for infrastructure dropped from $2 billion to $210 million this year. It has been cut by 90%. Retail stores are dropping like flies and the manufacturing sector has shed 400,000 jobs. These sectors need the infrastructure to be competitive and to create good jobs.
In addition to delaying the budget, the Prime Minister told us, on Tuesday in the House, that we are going through an economic crisis.
Is it true that we are in an economic crisis or did the Prime Minister make a mistake?
