“I want the member to vote for this bill. It will help projects move faster and give Canadian businesses, like farmers shipping their goods, more certainty.”
“Madam Speaker, I come from a dairy farm. It seems my colleague is a farmer as well, so I understand the realities he faces. He spoke about the port of Vancouver. We also have a port in Quebec City, and I understand the important role it plays in our trade strategy. At the Standing Committee on International Trade, we often heard about the port of Vancouver and the difficulties pork producers faced in shipping their products abroad because of the lack of predictability and certainty. I am pleased to hear his remarks because, based on what we see in Bill C‑39, we will be able to move projects forward more quickly and provide greater predictability for businesses. I therefore trust that he will support Bill C‑39 and vote in favour of providing greater predictability for businesses across Canada.”
