Liberal on Building Canada Strong Act 2026-10-07

Replying to Costas Menegakis (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, about 18 months ago, the government introduced the One Canadian Economy Act, Bill C-5. Since then, a whole slew of bureaucratic offices and agencies have been opened up by the government. Today we are debating Bill C-39, promising more and more of the same. I wonder if the member opposite can point to where the shovel has hit the ground for just one project in Canada since the government took over 18 months ago.”

Mr. Speaker, Claims · 33 wordsthere are a number of projects in the energy sector. Of course, we have the Churchill Falls project in Quebec.¹ That is a really critical project for Quebec in terms of energy production. Reasoning · 60 wordsWe absolutely must double our energy production. We need to focus on our government’s ability to deliver what Quebeckers and Canadians need when it comes to energy. If we fail to do so, we will be missing out on a very important industrial opportunity. Carrying out a number of projects like the one in Churchill Falls is therefore very important. Claims · 56 wordsAlthough I do not have a list of the shovel-ready projects, there are many. In my riding, for example, we are already starting work on a number of projects to build affordable housing units. I could give him the list. There are several projects, including one in Gracefield, where 39 affordable housing units are being built.²
