Wayne Long Liberal
“I have run a business, but the Conservative leader has not. During hard times, you can either blame others or take action to fix things and find new trade partners. Our government is taking action to make Canada strong, while the Conservatives just complain.”
“Mr. Speaker, I have actually had the privilege of running a private business in the economy, unlike the Conservative leader. When an economy or a business is faced with adversity, we have two choices. We can wave our hands around, blame everybody else and offer nothing constructive, or we can actually lead. We can rebuild. We can restructure. We can build new trade relationships. On this side of the House, that is what our Prime Minister and our international trade minister are doing. We are going to build Canada strong. They are going to continue with the rhetoric.”
