Replying to Natilien Joseph (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, I appreciate my colleague. I have actually been to her riding, and I would like to congratulate the people of Trois‑Rivières because they are so fortunate to have her as their member of Parliament. My question is very simple. What role can the Port of Trois-Rivières play in attracting more investment and supporting job creation and our SMEs?”
