Under the Public Services and Procurement item in Statements by Members, Dan Mazier of the Conservatives raised the government’s record on buying Canadian. He said that despite the Prime Minister’s promise that Canada would be its own best customer after walking away from trade negotiations with the United States, the government awarded $7.8 billion in contracts to American companies in the Prime Minister’s first 16 months, which he described as a 55 percent increase. He argued that tax dollars should support Canadian workers rather than go to the United States. No other party spoke in the sampled statements.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
