Madam Speaker, congratulations to the member on his election.
The throne speech unilaterally announced that the government would cut development cost levies by 50%, which would impact local governments. Local governments often rely on that money to build the community infrastructure to support new development, yet the throne speech did not offer any infrastructure dollars to local governments. There was zero mention of it.
How will local governments ensure that the necessary infrastructure is built to support the community when the government cuts that access to development cost levies?
