Mr. Speaker, our history is filled with examples of projects that connect our two largest provinces. Today, we have another opportunity to continue this proud tradition. One of our major national projects is the Toronto-Quebec City high-speed rail project.
The next step to get there is to pass Bill C‑15, which enacts the high-speed rail network act. What is the holdup? It is the opposition, which is playing games to delay the passage of this bill.
This is why we cannot have nice things.
Quebeckers and Ontarians have waited long enough. Every major country in the world except Canada has high-speed rail connecting their two biggest cities. It is time to stop playing games. It is time to move Canada forward.
