“I support this bill. I want the minister to explain how it will help workers own the businesses they work for.”
“Mr. Speaker, as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Industry, I want to commend the minister for making historic investments in science and research under budget 2024. I commend the bill we are debating today. I want to ask particularly about employee ownership trusts. I was at an event that celebrated the 25th anniversary of Social Capital Partners, a very important organization that led the charge for the movement to support employee ownership in Canada. I want to ask the minister about his role in furthering employee ownership in Canada and about how the bill would assist with that.”
