Liberal on Foreign Affairs

Replying to Pierre Paul-Hus (Conservative)
“Mr. Speaker, since the summit in Montreal, the Prime Minister has remained remarkably vague about his vision of associate membership in the European Union. My question is very simple. Can the Prime Minister guarantee that Canadian taxpayers will never have to send money to the European Union and that Canada will never be subject to European taxes, laws or regulations?”

Mr. Speaker, as I mentioned earlier, Canada and the European Union share values, priorities and strengths that enable us to strengthen our partnership. Our focus is on delivering concrete results for Canadians, creating more opportunities for businesses and workers, strengthening our economy and enhancing Canada’s independence. We will continue to work and collaborate to make this alliance a strength for Canada.
