“McDonald's Canada is visiting Parliament Hill today. It employs 100,000 people, buys most of its food from Canadian farmers, and helps our health care system. I want all members to go to its open house this afternoon.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, I am loving it. McDonald’s Corporation Canada is visiting Parliament Hill today. Let us look at some of the base numbers. It has 100,000 employees across the country. When we think of products from Canada, let us think of Canadian hamburgers, potatoes, chicken and eggs, with 85% of what is sold through McDonald’s coming from Canadian producers. As a corporate citizen, I think of Ronald McDonald House and the many contributions to our health care system that have been made through Ronald McDonald House. For 35 years, I have used my local McDonald’s as a meeting place for my constituents. I can tell the House that it is a great place to have fellowship with the community, with friends and with family, and so much more. McDonald’s Corporation Canada is having an open house later on this afternoon. I would encourage all members to get out and support it.
