Mélanie Joly, Minister of Industry and Minister responsible for Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions
“The Prime Minister believes in protecting our own economy so we can control our future and handle trade wars. That is why we are investing in a wealth fund, natural resources, and renewable energy to help people in Quebec and across Canada.”
“Mr. Speaker, indeed, in an interview with La Presse, the Prime Minister said that he was a nationalist and that he advocates economic nationalism. What does that mean? Essentially, it means being in control of our own destiny, being able to use the levers of our economy to help our own people while managing a trade war. It is under those circumstances that we announced a sovereign wealth fund. It is also under these circumstances that we are investing in our natural resources, as well as in renewable energy. That is why our investments will have an impact across Quebec and across the country.”
