Simon-Pierre Savard-Tremblay Bloc Québécois
“Some rules and taxes are good if they are used the right way. We voted with the Conservatives before on their motion. Now I want the Conservatives to vote for our motion to help industries that need it.”
“Mr. Speaker, I do not think it is up to me to explain the behaviour of the Liberal government. That is not my function, not my job. That said, I would like to clarify that some regulations may be good and some taxes may be good. It all depends on how they are applied. As for the rest, this sovereign wealth fund is sovereign in name only. In fact, we voted with the Conservatives on this during their opposition day. Considering our proposals to help sectors in urgent need, I hope that the Conservatives will vote in favour of our opposition motion, as we did for theirs.”
