Kevin Lamoureux Liberal
“The Bloc and the Conservatives are working together to oppose a sovereign wealth fund. Other countries have these funds. It would fund major projects, create thousands of jobs, and grow Canada's economy. I want to know why they are against it.”
“Mr. Speaker, arguably, the unholy alliance is alive and well, as the Bloc and the Conservatives have united once again in order to oppose a good idea. A Canada Strong fund is there to support, in a very real and tangible way, the potential development of major projects. These projects would deliver thousands of jobs and increase Canada’s GDP. I guess that is all bad news for the Conservatives and the Bloc today. They do not see the idea and the principle behind having a sovereign wealth fund. Other nations have developed these funds, so why not Canada? Why are the Bloc and the Conservative Party against Canada having a sovereign wealth fund when there are other countries in the world that have them?”
