@CPC_HQ casually say there’s no $18 Billion cut to infra. “We will spend the same over longer”
Here’s why that is wrong
1) Two words: Social infra. It’s is $22 B of our national plan. For housing subsidies, repairs, child care spaces, Indigenous community renewal.

If you spend less per year in the context of social infrastructure, it doesn’t just mean you build stuff later - it means you serve less people per year.
It means potentially a smaller Canada Housing Benefit. Fewer child care spaces. Less ability to repair housing stock.

Point 2): Construction costs rise. When you build a 🚊 line you need to know your cash flows a decade out. If you now suddenly have less $ per year, you can do less with a rising price of steel.
That’s why @liberal_party 2019 makes transit funding permanent. $3B+ per year.
