Replying to Shannon Stubbs (Conservative)
“Mr. Speaker, last night the minister actually called disclosure a “gotcha moment“ when accountability is literally his job. Companies help pay staff inside the Major Projects Office, but conflicts are reviewed internally without independent ethics oversight. The Liberals want Canadians to trust the safeguards but hide how and to whom those safeguards apply. The minister should release the rules, name the companies and say how many staff have been recused. If the safeguards are so strong, why is the secrecy even stronger, and what does the minister have to hide?”

Mr. Speaker, while the Conservatives want to think about conspiracy, what we do at the MPO is create jobs, like the 5,000 new jobs at Churchill Falls, the 8,000 new jobs at Contrecoeur, the 1,000 new jobs at Nouveau Monde Graphite, the 5,000 new jobs at LNG Canada and the 7,000 new jobs at Ksi Lisims. Instead of talking down the MPO, why do they not help us build jobs?
