Prime Minister Mark Carney says the federal government wants to help cities spur development such as housing and infrastructure.
“In the face of foreign threats — no prize for guessing, you know what I’m saying — I’m trying to learn some diplomacy from the King,” Carney said, eliciting some laughs from the crowd.
Carney said the solution to foreign economic threats was “connecting Canada.”
“In face of foreign threats, a core priority of this government is to build projects of national significance, projects that reinforce our country’s resilience, projects that connect Canada,” he said.
