Joanne Thompson

Liberal on Major Projects Office

Replying to Carol Anstey (Conservative)
“Mr. Speaker, after 11 years of the Liberals, one thing is clear. There are now two Canadas, one for hard-working Canadians who play by all the rules and one for the Liberal club. While Canadian families struggle to put food on the table, private corporations are paying employees who work inside the Major Projects Office, and the Prime Minister refuses to reveal who they are. Imagine an employer having their own employees working inside the very office responsible for advancing the projects the employer’s company wants approved. Can the Prime Minister tell Canadians exactly how many corporate-paid employees are working inside his MPO and which companies are paying for that?”

Mr. Speaker, I would like to take it from the top, if I could, because this is such important, good news for the province I share with the member opposite. There is a two-year removal of the Chinese tariffs on lobster and crab, which is so significant for Atlantic Canada. On top of that, there is over $300 million over five years for AFF funding. Instead of reading prepared notes, let us get together and do something that actually makes sense.
