Maxime Blanchette-Joncas Bloc Québécois
“This bill privatizes our ports, and the government also wants to privatize airports. Selling them off hurts the public interest. The government is using a temporary crisis to make permanent, harmful changes. I want the previous speaker to say more about this.”
“Madam Speaker, I want to say hello to the people of Rimouski-Neigette—Mitis—Matapédia—Les Basques, whom I represent with pride and dignity. There were some things I found interesting in my colleague’s speech, particularly when it came to the privatization of ports and so on. Bill C‑39 seeks to do just that. The government even announced that it wants to privatize airports. That is certainly not in our national interest. I would like my colleague to speak a bit more to the fact that the government is taking advantage of a crisis that should be temporary to implement measures that will be permanent and that will have harmful effects, particularly for the public interest.”
