Replying to Karim Bardeesy (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, I really enjoyed the speech by my colleague from Bourassa. As he pointed out, this bill is targeted and aims to address a very specific situation in today’s global context. Could he explain how this measure is in keeping with the government’s wider range of efforts, including those he himself had in mind to improve affordability and the cost of living?”
