Jeremy Patzer Conservative
“Governments do not create jobs. Businesses do. The government's job is to set rules that let businesses hire people. This bill does not fix the bad rules that stop companies from creating jobs.”
“Mr. Speaker, I want to get something on the record here. The member for Winnipeg North was talking about the government creating jobs. The problem in Canada right now is that it is actually not up to the government to create jobs. It is up to the private sector to create jobs. The government’s job is to create a regulatory environment that would allow the private sector to do that. This is the second bill that the government has tabled claiming to blow the doors off the Canadian economy, yet it has not done anything to substantively address the regulatory problems that are cited by industry regarding getting jobs created. Does my colleague have any thoughts on that?”
