104 words · 7 sentences · 7 clauses

Replying to Carlos Leitão (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for the excellent speech she made and also for underlining her commitment to this country and to progress. I thank her for that and welcome her, again, to the group. I have a question about the economic update and Bill C‑30. Could my colleague speak to the fact that the government continues to intervene to protect industries that are at risk from the U.S. trade war, and could she speak to the measures we continue to put in place to support industries at risk?”
