“More investment money left Canada than came in over the last decade. This happened because of the government's bad policies. I want the minister to take responsibility for it.”
“Mr. Chair, I will put it into context. For every dollar of foreign investment that came into Canada during that decade, two dollars left this country. It is not because of global issues. It is not because of the tariffs. Tariffs were not an issue then. It is a domestic policy failure that the minister cannot admit he was a part of. Does he accept responsibility, any responsibility, for his role in a trillion dollars leaving this country?”
