House Hansard - 161

Context: House Hansard - 161 - Feb/15/23
Mr. Brian Masse (Windsor West, NDP)

Mr. Speaker, the City of Windsor and the federal government partnered to address climate change and pollution by tackling devastating flooding under the disaster mitigation and adaptation fund by agreeing to a 60% to 40% cost-share. With rampant global inflation, construction costs have escalated, and now the Liberals are using this as an opportunity to squeeze the partnership and jeopardize important work on the Great Lakes. For all the Liberals' bluster on fighting climate change, one would think that they would show some shame here. Windsor residents need action on the climate emergency, not patronizing lip service. When will the government stop backtracking and live up to its word for a change?

Mr. Speaker, our government has made record investments to Windsor and the surrounding area. Our commitment to investing in infrastructure is solidified in the fact that we are investing in green and climate-resilient infrastructure. It is not just about creating good jobs. It is also about creating resilient communities. That is precisely what our infrastructure plan is doing. We are working with communities and partners to set those priorities and make sure that our communities are resilient into the future.
