Laila Goodridge

Conservative on Building Canada Strong Act 2026-09-24

106 words · 6 sentences · 9 clauses

Replying to Abdelhaq Sari (Liberal)

“Madam Speaker, I would simply like to emphasize once again that, just like other bills, this one will be referred to committee. We know that many of her colleagues across the way are very supportive of the idea that it will take a year to review projects and decide whether they can go ahead. Will we be able to count on their work to improve the bill when it is studied in committee?”
