“This bill will help grow Canada's economy. The Prime Minister's work just helped bring half a trillion dollars in new investments to Canada. I want the Conservatives to see that this bill supports those investments and to back it.”
“Mr. Speaker, it is important to note that Bill C-39 is there to support and grow Canada’s economy. All one needs to do is take a look at the last 18 months, where we have had a Prime Minister and cabinet going out and encouraging people to seek further trade opportunities for local businesses, to seek investments, to the degree that just a couple of weeks ago in Toronto, we saw half a trillion dollars. That is a historic amount of money, never before seen in Canada’s history, because of the relationships with our Prime Minister. I would encourage the member of the Conservative caucus to look at the bigger picture. Would the Conservatives not recognize that the bill complements that half a trillion dollars’ worth of commitments coming over?”
