Replying to Kyle Seeback (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, those are literally the same out-of-touch talking points that she used a year ago, saying, “We are going to do something.” Those 1,800 jobs are gone. Those 1,800 workers had a top-up, and then they went on EI; now they are getting nothing. There is a lady in my riding, and both she and her husband worked at Stellantis. They have now lost their home because of this. The minister said she would get the money back or protect the jobs. She has done neither one. Why is she still minister?”
