Mr. Speaker, that is an excellent question. The Conservatives would starve municipalities of funding. We heard in the lead-up to the last election that they saw mayors and city councillors as the enemy. Their leader spent week after week condemning mayors and elected officials as the villains in this country on housing and infrastructure. This just shows that nothing has changed and that the Conservatives would starve them of the money they need for infrastructure.
My community in St. Catharines, and every member's community across the country, uses that fund to build roads and bridges, keep the property taxes lower in the community and build necessary infrastructure. The Conservatives would just do away with that and leave them to their own accord. They do not care about property taxes back in their own communities. This is clear, based on this back-of-the-napkin math that they are coming up with on this motion.
