Madam Speaker, that is going to look really good at COP24.
According to the lowest estimate, it is going to cost taxpayers $840 million to gift these trains to the oil companies, which are the richest in Canada.
In the meantime, the Government of Quebec spent $300 million on the migrant crisis and the federal government is letting that situation deteriorate.
Does the government realize that the compensation Quebec wants for handling the migrant crisis is less than half the minimum cost of these trains?
Will it compensate Quebec instead of giving presents to the oil sands industry?
