Replying to Aslam Rana (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the member of the opposition about the $500-billion promises that were made during the Toronto summit. We signed over 23 agreements around the world for those economic projects, which is proof of our great leadership. Bill C-39 is also the next step to build Canada strong. I would like to ask the member of the opposition why he will not work with us and approve the bill.”
