Pierre Poilievre, Leader of the Opposition
“Under this government, rule-makers get special treatment while regular Canadians follow the rules. The Major Projects Office might be hiring people who are also paid by the companies asking for project approvals. I want to know how many corporate-paid workers are in that office.”
“Mr. Speaker, there are two economies after 11 years of Liberal government. There is one for the Canadians who have to follow the rules, and another economy for those who make the rules. Can we imagine a scenario where there is a government regulator that employs people who are simultaneously paid by the corporations it regulates? Imagine if the Major Projects Office, for example, employed people who were paid by the same companies whose applications it approves. How many corporate-paid employees are working in the Major Projects Office?”
