Tamara Kronis

Conservative on Strengthening Canada's Defence Sector Act 2026-10-26

95 words · 5 sentences · 7 clauses

Replying to Sébastien Lemire (Bloc Québécois)

“Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for her speech, which was, I must say, forceful and very firm. We know that transforming the Defence Investment Agency into a Crown corporation means that certain watchdogs, such as the procurement ombud, will not be able to scrutinize its activities. Is that a concern of my colleague’s?”
