Replying to Kyle Seeback (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, I am really glad the member wants some reality. Let us have some reality. Stellantis needed help from the government. What did it get? Nothing. CAMI needed support from the government. What did it get? Nothing. PACCAR needed support from the government. What did it get? Nothing. Algoma needed support from the government. What did it get? Nothing. Stelco workers needed support from the government. What did they get? They got a useless letter. Now National Steel Car needs help from the government. What is it going to get, another useless letter?”
