Mr. Speaker, we tried, but once again, this government is determined to ignore Quebec.
In the current wording of Bill C-44, the infrastructure bank can be made an agent of the crown, allowing it to circumvent Quebec statutes and regulations. This even includes expropriation powers. If that was not its intention, it needs to amend the bill. Otherwise, this will be just one more example of Ottawa walking all over Quebec.
This is the last chance. Will the government remove this power to give the infrastructure bank crown agent status, a power that goes too far?
