Mr. Speaker, I do not think that the Conservative government is listening to municipal mayors.
Eighteen mayors of Canada's major cities are calling on the Conservative government to invest in public transit, infrastructure and housing in order to create jobs. The mayors had not even left Ottawa before the Minister of Infrastructure, Communities and Intergovernmental Affairs turned them down flat.
Why do the Conservatives insist on giving tax cuts to the wealthy instead of investing in job creation for the middle class?
