Replying to Guillaume Deschênes-Thériault (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, I would like to know whether my colleague agrees with me. I would say that one of the strengths of our government’s strategy is that we are truly presenting a comprehensive plan. We are helping businesses that have immediate needs. We are diversifying our markets abroad. We are building a stronger domestic market, particularly through strategic infrastructure investments and our “buy Canadian” policy. I would like to hear my colleague’s thoughts on this strategy. Does he agree with me that one of its strengths is its coherence and the fact that it includes multiple components—both short-term measures for businesses that need help right now and long-term measures to strengthen our economy?”
