François-Philippe Champagne Liberal
“The member is contradicting himself. The tax agency's contract hires 60 security guards. Of those, 33 used to be commissionaires and 12 are veterans. We always try to hire Canadian companies and buy Canadian.”
“Mr. Speaker, what my colleague is suggesting is somewhat contradictory. As I said, the contract awarded by the Canada Revenue Agency involves 60 security officers, 33 of whom are former commissionaires and 12 of whom are veterans who served this country in uniform. At every stage, we make every effort to give preference to Canadian companies and to ensure that all departments and agencies comply with and follow buy Canadian procurement practices.”
