Liberal on Government Orders 2026-05-25

106 words · 5 sentences · 5 clauses

Replying to Kevin Lamoureux (Liberal). The question was off topic, so this reply is judged against the bill.

“Mr. Speaker, I appreciate many of the comments that my colleague put on the record. There is one thing that I think is really important for us to recognize. She made reference to building a strong, healthy economy, an economy that is there for all Canadians, and that is something we want. Earlier, there was a discussion in regard to the importance of trade. Trade is so critically important to our nation. We make up, I believe, 0.5% of the world population, yet when it comes to international trade, we contribute 2.5% of world trade. The province of Ontario has a manufacturing industry second to no other in the country. Can the member provide her thoughts on just how important it is that we diversify our trade opportunities to help build a stronger, healthier economy?”
