“The Prime Minister tells Canadians to buy Canadian, but his government gave a security contract to an American company instead of a Canadian one that employs veterans. The American company won by bidding less than one percent lower. I want to know why the Prime Minister chose an American firm over Canadian veterans.”
“Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister tells Canadians to buy Canadian, but his own government is happy to buy American. He fired the veterans guarding the Canada Revenue Agency. The Commissionaires, Canada’s largest employer of veterans, lost the contract to Allied Universal, an American firm cashing in on the ICE contract. Allied underbid the Commissionaires by $80,000, which is less than 1%. Why is the Prime Minister choosing an American firm over veterans who served this country?”
