Replying to Tamara Jansen (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, I could not help but notice earlier when one of my Liberal colleagues shouted the famous Buzz Lightyear line, “To infinity and beyond” in response to today’s space bill. That seems to be the level of seriousness this Liberal government has when it comes to such an important issue. This sort of trivialization raises a serious question. When Canadians see this kind of attitude, they wonder whether our legislation is being approached with the rigour it deserves. Why are we seeing, in this bill, a shift away from disciplined, rules-based decision-making toward something far more secretive and heavy-handed under this Liberal government?”

Mr. Speaker, Procedure · 6 wordslet me use the word “excitement.”Procedure Claims · 83 wordsThere is a great deal of excitement when we have an industry that has so much potential and we bring forward legislation that would have a profoundly positive impact, not only on one industry, but on multiple industries. It has just been pointed out how post-secondary facilities themselves would benefit from this.¹ Canadians as a whole, in terms of the overall growth, would generate contributions to the GDP and improve our conditions. We are talking about thousands of good jobs, plus so many—Partly on point
