“Foreign investment in Canada is near a 20-year high. Last year, outside companies invested $97 billion here. This money pays for major projects, like Airbus planes in Quebec, and supports thousands of jobs.”

“Mr. Speaker, investments coming into Canada are at record levels, actually close to 20-year highs. Last year alone, there was $97 billion of foreign direct investment into Canada. That is more major projects being built. That is major, big aircraft being built here in Canada. Airbus has a current deal with Mirabel. That is 150 Airbus aircraft, sold for over $15 billion, supporting 30,000 workers. That is $97 billion into our country. Building big projects is what Canada is going to do.”

“A Swedish company and a Canadian company are working together to build military surveillance planes. This will create 3,000 jobs across the country.”

“Mr. Speaker, I would like to share good news, which is important, in order to make the point that my colleague is missing right now. Yesterday, we were able to announce 3,000 new jobs across the country. Why? It is because Saab, a Swedish company, decided to work with Bombardier, a Canadian company, and deliver, for the first time, a surveillance plane, and that will bring Canada back into military aerospace. Our defence industrial strategy will create jobs across the country, in every single province represented here in the House of Commons chamber.”

“Big companies and First Nations are investing billions of dollars in Canada. We are building the country this way.”

“Mr. Speaker, if they did not spend so much time working on their clips, they might see people like the CEO of Shell, who just invested $20 billion in this country. They might see Chief Clayton of the Nisga’a Nation, who yesterday said she is looking forward to “manag[ing] prosperity” instead of “managing poverty”. That is how we are building Canada.”

“We are investing billions of dollars in new mines in places like Dease Lake and Nunavut. The opposition is ignoring these real investments.”

“Mr. Speaker, we could go on and on. Why does the member not come to Dease Lake, where we are investing billions in a new mine? Why does he not go to Nunavut and see where we have invested $4 billion in a new mine in Nunavut? They are so busy working on their clips, they are not actually seeing what is happening in this country.”

“Canada leads the G7 in foreign investment. For example, a Swedish company and a Canadian company just partnered to build military planes here, which will create 3,000 jobs.”

“Mr. Speaker, Canada is currently the top destination for foreign investment in the G7. That is my first point. My second point, proving that we are currently a prime destination for business, is that 3,000 jobs were announced yesterday. Saab, a Swedish company, decided to partner with Bombardier, a Canadian company of which we are very proud, to enter the military aerospace industry by building a new surveillance aircraft for us as well as for several other countries around the world. That is how we are going to build a strong country.”

“Canada is building military planes and opening new mines. We are bringing in a lot of money from other countries. Economists say foreign investment in 2025 was the highest it has been since 2007.”

“Mr. Speaker, what have we learned from the last six questions? We have learned that that we are going to build military aircraft in Canada. We have learned that we are building mines, particularly in Quebec, British Columbia and in the far north, and that we are attracting an incredible amount of investment. The folks at TD Economics, who are certainly very different from those in the Conservative Party’s war room, say that, in 2025, Canada experienced its highest level of foreign investment since 2007. Canada is clearly attracting investment.”
