Madam Speaker, speaking of the use of public funds, we recently learned that the leader of the Conservative Party wants to do away with a housing construction fund. We know that 17 Conservative members applied to that program for funding for their communities.
The Conservative leader decided to muzzle those members and prevent them from doing their job by requesting funding that is there to help alleviate the housing crisis. To top it all off, we learned from The Hill Times that Carleton, the municipality that the Conservative leader represents, received $44 million under that program.
I would like to know whether my Conservative colleague thinks that his leader did his job or failed to do his job by defending the City of Carleton for using a fund that he wants to abolish.
