Steven MacKinnon Liberal
“We support the Alto project because it helps build our country, and the Conservatives are wrong to oppose it. The finance minister follows strict rules approved by the ethics commissioner and always acts honestly.”
“Mr. Speaker, Alto is a nation-transforming project. We are pleased and proud to support it. Conservatives should be ashamed of their opposition to this nation-building project. With respect to how the conduct of the finance minister and the government is going, I will respond to my friend, the Death Valley well driller over there. The minister has put in place a rigid and approved set of measures from the Commissioner of Ethics and he will always act with integrity.”
