Liberal on Building Canada Strong Act 2026-10-06

121 words · 6 sentences · 9 clauses

Replying to Kody Blois (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, my hon. colleague talked about the importance of building quickly. She mentioned, of course, lots of products. I would encourage her to buy Nova Scotia lobster too. We will add that to her list of great Canadian products from across the country. When I am at home in Nova Scotia, my business community talks about the need to move quicker. The hon. member is from Scarborough Centre—Don Valley East. Maybe she could give the House a bit of a reflection on the conversations she is having with her business community about why this bill is so important.”
