Guillaume Deschênes-Thériault Liberal
“Our economy is growing. In the last 18 months, we attracted 500 billion dollars in investment and signed over 20 trade deals. I want the Conservatives to admit that our bill will make our economy even stronger.”
“Mr. Speaker, to hear my colleagues, it almost seems that nothing good is happening. Over the past 18 months, however, we have made significant progress toward building a stronger and more prosperous economy. It shows in the investment summit, which attracted over $500 billion to be injected into our economy; it shows in the 24 projects being studied by the Major Projects Office; and it shows in the more than 20 trade agreements that we have signed around the world. While we make progress on this side of the House, the Conservatives keep raining on everyone’s parade. I would like to ask my colleague why he cannot acknowledge the potential of Bill C-39 to build a stronger economy, to build a stronger Canada.”
