Mr. Speaker, the Liberals said they were going to have more transparent and more open accounting. However, we see that they are still using accounting tricks in an attempt to cover their tracks.
You will recall that, last year, it was absolutely essential to have $6 billion in the contingency fund. It has since been eliminated. The reason is quite simple: an attempt is being made to hide the fact that the government will not achieve the public accounts goals it set.
The infrastructure issue is even more important. The government is boasting about establishing a Canada infrastructure bank. However, what it is not saying is that not only is it privatizing current infrastructure assets, a task it will delegate to the provinces and municipalities, but it will also privatize the revenue flows from those infrastructure assets, which means tolls and user fees.
I would like the minister to tell me where the Liberals’ promise was, during the election campaign, to privatize our public infrastructure.
