“Our government buys goods and services in ways that support Canadian jobs and materials. The Conservatives should stop blocking our high-speed rail projects between Quebec City and Toronto, and between Edmonton and Calgary.”
“Mr. Speaker, my colleagues have given a number of examples of how we are supporting Canadian jobs, Canadian materials and Canadians throughout our procurement process. If the Conservatives want to support perhaps the most quintessential of Canadian investments, they could get out of the way of Alto high-speed rail going from Quebec City to Toronto and now also studying very closely the possibility of high-speed rail between Edmonton and Calgary. Will the Conservatives stand up for— Some hon. members: Oh, oh!”
