Parliament Video: Jenny asks: In the spirit of transparency - Where is $$$$ for Trans Mountain expansion coming from?

On March 9, 2020, I stood in the House to ask the Parliamentary Secretary for National Revenue:

Jenny Kwan Vancouver East, BC

"Mr. Speaker, we are talking about a motion that speaks to transparency, openness and accountability, more information that needs to be provided to Canadians. To that end, I am particularly interested in where the government is going to get the money to support the Trans Mountain expansion project. We now know that the dollar figure is projected to be $12.7 billion. Is that going to be off-book financing? Where is that money going to come from? I wonder whether the member can speak to that and, in the spirit of transparency, let Canadians know."
