Mr. Chair, did the government have a written agreement with Stellantis before the IRA was passed into law?
Business of Supply May 29th, 2023
Mr. Chair, we understand that the terms and conditions of the Stellantis deal are changing. Is that because the government did that initial deal on a handshake, or did it have a written agreement?

Mr. Chair, the government is spending more than double on the TMX pipeline than it is putting into the growth fund. How much does it expect to get for the pipeline?

Mr. Chair, how much does that market interest likely dictate it will get for the pipeline?

Mr. Chair, how much does the government anticipate selling the TMX pipeline for?
Business of Supply May 29th, 2023
Mr. Chair, I am concerned to know if the minister thinks that the spending on TMX may well bid up the cost of other large infrastructure projects, like those foreseen for the growth fund.

Mr. Chair, is the nature of the disagreement on the fact that $30 billion on the TMX pipeline might bid up the cost of jobs for the growth fund?
Business of Supply May 29th, 2023
Mr. Chair, the government has been spending over $30 billion on the TMX pipeline. It has a $15-billion growth fund. Does the minister share concern that the $30 billion being spent on a pipeline is going to bid up the cost of projects that the growth fund would invest in?

Mr. Chair, infrastructure investments are important, but they can also be inflationary. Does the minister recognize that infrastructure spending can be inflationary?
