Liberal on Adjournment Proceedings 2026-10-06

Replying to Cheryl Gallant (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, let me just remind people what happened here. The Liberals took out a nine-year lease on a concrete slab and agreed to pay for 10 years. That back rent helped pay for the stock options exercised by one of the spaceport’s shareholders. Liberal insiders are getting rich off insider trading while the brave women and men in the Canadian Armed Forces get rent hikes and black mould. As the government ramps up spending, Canadians should expect to see a lot more of this type of Liberal corruption.”
