Mr. Speaker, Procedure · 12 words to answer the question, I will just talk about the mega deduction, Procedure Claims · 59 words although there is also an opportunity to attract investors. For example, I had an opportunity to host a round table in Bourassa’s industrial area. Industrialists and businesses want to invest, and the mega deduction will help them upgrade their fleets and machinery. That will create jobs. It is good both for employment in our ridings and for our industries. Reasoning · 14 words To repeat what I said earlier, this is about our ability to attract investment, Claims · 7 words as we did at the first-ever summit. Reasoning · 34 words I think the future will be a lot more promising because we can attract a lot more investment, Partly on point because of our potential and, Off point as I said in the previous answer, because of our values.
