There is no evidence that it will be cost-effective. The Liberals want to leave us with a white elephant that runs purely on subsidies.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9394946\" data-originallang=\"fr\">With $90 million, we could refurbish nearly all of our infrastructure in Canada and become a global agricultural powerhouse.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9394947\" data-originallang=\"fr\">When are the Liberals going to invest in projects that will actually create wealth in Canada?</p>",
