Kevin Lamoureux Liberal
“I want Canada to have a national wealth fund. Other countries have them, and one would help our economy. The Conservatives do not support this idea. I want to know if the member sees value in wealth funds.”
“Mr. Speaker, I have already expressed this: I am disappointed that the Conservative Party does not have enough faith in Canadians and the need for us to have a sovereign wealth fund here in Canada. Many other countries around the world have such a fund. The potential contribution this can make to the economy, to Canadians as a whole, is truly something we should all be excited about. Obviously, the Conservatives want to focus more on their own political party than on building a stronger, healthier Canada. Does the member believe that there is value to wealth funds, whether here or at the provincial level?”
