Dominic LeBlanc

Liberal on Major Projects Office 2026-11-03

Replying to Pierre Poilievre (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, there are two economies after 11 years of Liberal government. There is one for the Canadians who have to follow the rules, and another economy for those who make the rules. Can we imagine a scenario where there is a government regulator that employs people who are simultaneously paid by the corporations it regulates? Imagine if the Major Projects Office, for example, employed people who were paid by the same companies whose applications it approves. How many corporate-paid employees are working in the Major Projects Office?”

Mr. Speaker, the Leader of the Opposition should be careful not to assert a series of imagined conflicts of interest when he knows very well they do not exist. I am surprised that the leader of the Conservative Party would be shocked that people, men and women, who work in the private sector want to come to work in the government to support an ambitious building agenda, to put Canadians to work and to make our economy more resilient. We are proud of the women and men who have decided to serve our country in the Major Projects Office. He should be careful before casting aspersions on these hard-working people.
