Mr. Speaker, Positioning · 8 words what is our role here as elected officials? Positioning Claims · 134 words We have a legislative role when it comes to bills. We must ensure the sound management of public finances. We represent the people of our ridings. We are the eyes, voice and ears of the people. Earlier, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Leader of the Government in the House said that we were against the development of the aerospace industry. We are not against the development of the aerospace industry; we are against the mismanagement of public finances. Partly on point We are dealing a financial scandal involving Maritime Launch Services, a private company that leases 135 hectares of land from the Nova Scotia provincial government.1 This private company took its contract and decided to lease the land to the federal Liberal government for $20 million a year for 10 years, for a total of $200 million.2 Off point Procedure · 8 words My question for the Liberal government is simple. Procedure The question · 13 words If it had been their own money, would they have signed this contract? Off point Procedure · 4 words The answer is clear. Procedure Unearned certainty Claims · 18 words Of course, no one here would have done that. No Canadian would have signed a contract like that. The question · 10 words Why did the Liberal government sign a contract like that? Claims · 152 words The Maritime Launch Services site is on a gravel road. There are two shipping containers and a concrete pad measuring 25 feet by 35 feet.3 That is the infrastructure that the government is renting for $20 million a year for the next 10 years. Over the past few days, I asked the Minister of Finance some questions. Who signed the contract? Who read the contract? When was the minister informed of this contract? I asked him if he had met with officials from Maritime Launch Services. He did not recall. I reminded him of the exact date he met with them. I asked him if his chief of staff had ever met with officials from Maritime Launch Services. He did not know. When he was industry minister, his chief of staff met with them 14 times, seven times in 2023 and seven times in 2024.4 Again, he met with them 14 times. The question · 21 words How is it possible that the minister does not remember that he had these important meetings with his chief of staff? Claims · 55 words The minister is currently taking Canadians’ concerns so lightly that he offered to introduce me to some astronauts. I do not want to meet astronauts. Off point I want to meet with experienced stewards who will sign contracts that meet the expectations of Canadians, the people who elected us to ensure the sound management of public finances. Positioning · 5 words This is unacceptable to us. Positioning Claims · 50 words Canadians work hard every day to earn a living, to be able to pay for a place to live, a vehicle to drive and food to eat. They send a portion of their wages to us here as taxes. Our role is to be good stewards and to serve Canadians. Partly on point Procedure · 10 words That is our role. It is to be good stewards. Procedure Positioning · 11 words Right now, the federal government is being a very poor steward. Positioning Partly on point Procedure · 5 words This is just one example. Procedure Claims · 24 words Then people wonder why the country’s deficit, 5 which was $700 billion when the Liberals took office 10 years ago, is now at $1.4 trillion. Reasoning · 6 words Bad decisions like this add up. Partly on point Claims · 154 words I can say that Canadians are extremely frustrated right now. A lot of people are telling me that. Frédéric told me that the government never answers questions and that I will definitely never get any answers. Nathalie wonders why they do not answer and adds that ministers are all the same when they have to be accountable. Mathieu says it is not easy to answer such a simple question. Stéphane says that he has rarely seen someone dodge such a simple question. Patrick says that he cannot get over how some people never answer questions. Sébastien says that the minister never manages to answer and that he always runs out the clock. Guylaine said that he stalls for time and never answers my questions. Sylvie says that his total disregard for us and the way he treats us like idiots is unbelievable. This is what people are writing to tell me about this matter. Positioning · 14 words Faced with such a case, how are Canadians supposed to trust a Liberal government? Positioning Claims · 116 words On August 13, 2024, the Minister of Finance and National Revenue met with representatives of Maritime Launch Services.6 The former Nova Scotia Liberal minister sits on the advisory board of Maritime Launch Services.7 I remember that Maritime Launch Services had signed an agreement with the Nova Scotia provincial government and, lo and behold, the former premier of Nova Scotia also sits on its advisory board. According to the Halifax Examiner, the former premier of Nova Scotia had written a letter of support on the company’s behalf even before the project had been submitted for an environmental assessment.8 Mr. McNeil was appointed to the Maritime Launch Services advisory board in 2023 after announcing his resignation in 2021.9 Off point Procedure · 7 words It is only natural to ask questions. Procedure The question · 13 words How can anyone agree to a deal like that? Who signed that agreement? Claims · 27 words Someone accepted it; someone put their signature to it. There had to have been a point when the minister knew this agreement was going to be signed. The question · 7 words When was he made aware of it? Off point Claims · 29 words As MPs who are mandated to be the eyes, voice and ears of our constituents, we cannot accept this situation. It is our role to strongly call this out. Partly on point Positioning · 32 words What would make me happy is if the Liberal MPs who also just found out about this in recent weeks were as outraged as we are and said that this is unacceptable. Positioning Off point Claims · 76 words After all, this money is coming from their constituents too, and they are suffering as a result. Canadians have worked hard for the money they send to us. They want us to recognize the value of every single dollar they send to us. Partly on point The minister finds this funny. The minister just walked into the House and he finds this funny. We are talking about a land lease, minister, which you arranged for $20 million a year— Off point
