MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT

Hon. Kody Blois

Liberal Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister 44 statements translated

Blois frequently brings up his riding and praises his Atlantic region, angling for more federal money and laws to favour his local industries. He deflects criticism of the government by talking at length about unrelated positives or blaming external factors. He cheerleads enthusiastically for the government's spending plans in a partisan manner, but provides few specific details or answers to questions raised by opposition MPs.

“The IMF says Canada's finances are strong. We're growing the economy. Our budget review is saving money. We spent a lot on our military. I thought Conservatives liked that. We'll keep supporting our troops.”

“We have a trade deal. It's called CUSMA. We are at the table talking. We won't settle for a bad deal. We will support impacted industries and workers. The Conservatives would have folded in 2018.”

Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, we already have a trade deal with the United States. It is called CUSMA, and we are going through the review process. We understand the challenge to Canadian workers and to Canadian industry. As the Minister for Intergovernmental Affairs and the Prime Minister have made very clear, we are at the table. We are having conversations with the U.S. administration. We are engaging. The Conservatives have made very clear, and the Prime Minister has made very clear, that we are not going to settle for a bad deal. In the interim, we are supporting industries and supporting workers who are being impacted by the tariffs, which we feel are unjustified. We will take no lessons from the Conservatives. I will take Canadians back to 2018 when they would have had us fold before we got the best deal for Canadians.

“We're spending a lot of money. My excuse is the IMF thinks we're the least bad. I'll just talk about the military to look tough.”

“I support some things in this bill. I want the government to answer my questions about it.”

Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, there are a number of things in Bill C-25 that I think are important and supportive. I am feeling charitable this morning, so I am going to mention three different areas and will let the parliamentary secretary decide where he might want to respond. First, I think it is important that Bill C-25 would extend some of the foreign interference provisions into nominations and into leadership contests. Second, I like the provisions around political financing and walking a balance with regard to transparency, and also the idea that sometimes advance notice has drawn in a whole host of protest, I think unfairly disallowing Canadians from participating in political financing in a way that should be supported. The last piece is around artificial intelligence. There is a piece in the bill around putting in stronger provisions, particularly in a world where there is a rise of disinformation online and how that can be accelerated by artificial intelligence. The parliamentary secretary can decide which of the three he wants to raise, but I would like his thoughts on one of those three subjects.
