Replying to Greg Fergus (Liberal)
“Mr. Speaker, my colleague from Ontario is a seasoned businessman. He is well aware of the importance of getting quick answers when a final decision needs to be made by a group of investors for a project. I would like to know whether he believes that Canada can afford to take a long time before reaching a decision. Should we not instead, in the current context, try to make comprehensive and swift decisions?”

Mr. Speaker, Procedure · 5 wordsthat is a wonderful question.Procedure Claims · 85 wordsAs my colleague mentioned, from a business perspective, and as I mentioned in my speech, speed and efficiency are critical for Canadian businesses to compete in this global market, and all those considerations are certainly in there. I would like to highlight that in this process, we mentioned efficiencies for transportation. The marine sectors currently have to provide 12 distinct forms, with five federal departments and agencies, in duplicate.1 Ninety per cent of trade, by volume, with non-U.S. countries is carried out by marine vessels.2 Reasoning · 59 wordsTherefore, making it easier to file that data once and have it shared securely across departments would meaningfully cut red tape as we work to diversify trade. That is just a good example of how, throughout this process, we would be helping Canadians and helping our businesses to conduct business faster, and therefore reducing costs, making us more competitive.
