Replying to Dane Lloyd (Conservative)
“Mr. Speaker, actions speak louder than words, and the government did exactly the opposite of what the member just said. The Canadian Corps of Commissionaires is a not-for-profit that prioritizes the hiring of Canada’s veterans. For generations, the Canadian government has provided it the right of first refusal for security contracts. The Commissionaires put in a competitive bid, but the America-first Prime Minister chose Trump’s favourite security contractor, Allied Universal, for the job. Was this yet another concession by the Liberal government? Why is the Prime Minister putting the interests of American corporate profits over job opportunities for our courageous veterans?”

Mr. Speaker, as I was saying, we can point to the results and the impact that this policy has been having already in just a few months. We have seen, most recently, a contract awarded to General Dynamics. Those are tangible results. Those are jobs in communities that matter to Canadians.
