“I do not know the details of this contract yet. But we should look at this company's Canadian presence. It is owned by an American company, but it employs thousands of people in Canada, including in Winnipeg.”
“Mr. Speaker, I do not necessarily know the details. The member just brought it forward to the House, at least as far as I have heard. At the end of the day, I believe that we need to look at the company that received this. It is a subsidiary of an American company. There are many subsidiaries here in Canada with headquarters in the United States, and vice versa. We have headquarters here in Canada where they have subsidiaries in the United States. What is important is the footprint that the subsidiaries have. My understanding is that we are talking about thousands of employees, some of them in Winnipeg.”
