Infrastructure Mr. Speaker, we have come to learn what we have long believed, which is that the Canada Infrastructure Bank does not actually deliver infrastructure. It just enriches those at the very top. We have long known that public-private partnerships do not actually benefit communities. I

The Budget Mr. Speaker, our policy has always been to recognize that Quebec has the right to opt out with full compensation. That is what we have always said. However, I want to make it clear that what we are proposing is a federal program similar to employment insurance. It is not about h
