Replying to Jean-Yves Duclos (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to have heard my colleague’s views. He emphasized the importance of investing in Canada and Quebec to grow our economy and create more and better jobs. He really emphasized investment and the importance of investment. However, he concluded by saying that Canada, unlike other countries around the world, would be unable to do this properly while following appropriate rules of governance. Why is he so skeptical about Canada’s ability to perform as well as other countries?”
