Main Estimates 2016-17  Madam Speaker, Canadians had a lot to be concerned about. That is why they elected us after 10 years of Conservative government. That is why we are in power today. What I can say about infrastructure is that if the previous government did such a good job, I am surprised that I h

Pensions  Madam Speaker, every Canadian shares the goal of a secure retirement. That is why our Minister of Finance, in one of his first acts, met with provincial ministers of finance in order to look at CPP enhancement. I am proud to say that under his leadership, on Monday, provincial
