Conservative on Building Canada Strong Act 2026-09-23

55 words · 4 sentences · 5 clauses

Replying to Kevin Lamoureux (Liberal)

“Madam Speaker, It is important for us to recognize, as I pointed out yesterday on legislation, that often the government has a much larger agenda, and this is one of those examples. The legislation today is all about how we can actually take advantage of things, such as a half a trillion dollars of committed investments through an economic summit that was led by the Prime Minister of Canada. We want to see foreign investment come into Canada. One of the ways we can attract that is to have legislation of this nature passed through the House. I wonder if my colleague could provide his thoughts with respect to the larger picture.”
