Melissa Lantsman Conservative
“The government is creating another new agency. These agencies mess with the free market. When private companies do not want to fund a project, the government steps in and pays for it anyway. That is not how a free market should work.”
“Mr. Speaker, it is always an interesting day here when we agree with the Bloc Québécois. This government has now put forward a 13th new bureaucracy. All of these bureaucracies have one thing in common: They are there to distort the market. Private companies chose not to invest in something, so the government comes and backfills that capital, which already exists in this country, by choosing the projects that go forward. That is the opposite of how a free market works. It is the opposite of how this country was built throughout generations. I cannot understand why the Liberal government always chooses the wrong path when it comes to building Canada’s future.”
