Mr. Speaker, decades of negligence by the Conservative and Liberal governments have led to a $172-billion deficit in municipal infrastructure. That is not trivial. Our cities, such as Quebec City, need investment in order to improve the quality of life of their citizens. The best example is the Quebec Bridge, a file that has been dragging on for far too long.
By increasing transfers, in a stable and predictable way, the NDP is committed to being a reliable partner to our cities.
Why do the Conservatives keep ignoring the real needs of our cities?
