“The government gave a security contract to an American company instead of the Commissionaires, a group that employs Canadian veterans. They did this just to save $80,000. I want the Prime Minister to stop mistreating our veterans.”
“Mr. Speaker, the Commissionaires is a not-for-profit organization, Canada’s largest private sector employer of veterans. What commissionaires earn goes back to veterans, not shareholders. Justin Trudeau once told veterans that they were asking for more than he was able to give. That was a slap in the face. Now the Liberal government has handed a CRA security contract to Allied Universal, an American company tied to Trump’s ICE deportation machine, just to save $80,000. That is a backhand to the face. When will the Prime Minister stop beating down on veterans?”
