Jacob Mantle Conservative
“I agree that businesses need certainty with our biggest trading partner. The government has delayed for 18 months, and that uncertainty is making companies invest in other countries instead of Canada.”
“Mr. Speaker, I actually completely agree with my colleague from Quebec. We need certainty with our largest trading partner. In fact, the government’s rag-the-puck strategy has created 18 months of uncertainty, and that is why we are seeing companies choose to invest outside Canada rather than inside Canada. They need certainty that this issue will be put to bed, and the government is failing to do that.”
