Guillaume Deschênes-Thériault Liberal
“This bill is part of our work to grow the economy in Canada and Quebec. We are speeding up major projects and bringing in huge investments, like for clean energy at Churchill Falls. I want the member to admit that this bill helps build our economy.”
“Madam Speaker, I would like to remind my colleague that Bill C-39 is part of a broader context, specifically all the efforts our government has been making over the past year and a half to strengthen the Canadian economy and, of course, the Quebec economy. It builds on the projects we are trying to fast-track, such as the Contrecoeur container terminal project. It also builds on the major investments we are attracting, including with Churchill Falls, the largest investment in renewable energy in the history of North America. It also builds on the summit in Toronto, which unleashed over $500 billion in new investment commitments in Canada, including some in Québec. I would like to hear my colleague’s thoughts on something. Does he recognize that Bill C-39 is a part of these ongoing efforts to strengthen the Canadian economy and, by extension, Quebec’s economy as well?”
