Liberal on Public Services and Procurement

Replying to Dane Lloyd (Conservative)
“Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister vowed to make Canada its own best customer. He promised that when his government spends, it will select Canadian suppliers and Canadian jobs first. When it comes to election time, the Prime Minister is elbows up, but when it comes to contract time, he chooses America first. He awarded a U.S. security firm with ties to Trump’s ICE a $12-million contract over the Canadian Corps of Commissionaires, the largest employer of veterans in Canada. Why did the Prime Minister sacrifice Canadian veterans’ jobs to put America first?”

Mr. Speaker, our priority is to put Canadian content, Canadian companies and Canadian workers first, and to use our purchasing power to grow production here at home. That is companies contributing substantively to our economy, employing people, creating good jobs here in our communities and paying taxes here in our communities. That is what we are doing to build Canada strong and build Canadian innovation.
