Replying to Melissa Lantsman (Conservative)

“Mr. Chair, that was not my question. The answer for the minister is that one trillion dollars left Canada. According to RBC, that is the single largest sustained capital outflow in Canada’s history. For a country of 40 million people, just to put it into context for those watching at home, that is $25,000 for every person. Does the minister find that acceptable?”
