Replying to Melissa Lantsman (Conservative)

“Mr. Chair, does the finance minister know that the single biggest hurtle to investment decisions in this country right now is not tariffs? His own business council, the Business Council of Canada, says it is Canada’s own domestic regulatory burden that is in the way. It is government that is in the way of those investment dollars. Does he agree with any of that?”
