François-Philippe Champagne Liberal
“This fund will make its own decisions without government interference. It will invest in Canadian companies and projects that help our country, which will help build wealth for Canadians.”
“Mr. Chair, my colleague is very knowledgeable, as she was in finance for most of her career before being in politics. We have been extremely clear about its governance, that it is going to be at arm’s length from the government and it will make its own independent decisions. What we have said is that the fund will invest in projects of national interest and also invest in Canadian companies. A mandate like that is very consistent with other funds around the world. I think she should see the benefit of creating collective wealth for Canadians.”
