“The Prime Minister promised to buy Canadian, but he bought billions more from the United States. Now he is replacing Canadian veterans with an American company to save only one percent. Why is he choosing an American company over our veterans?”

“Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister made big promises that he was going to buy Canadian. However, in his first year in office, he increased U.S. purchases by $7.8 billion. This week, we learned that he cast aside the Commissionaires, the single largest employer of veterans in Canada, in favour of an American company, to save just 1%. That company is linked to ICE and Donald Trump. Why is the Prime Minister casting our veterans aside to favour an American company?”

“The Prime Minister promised to buy Canadian. Instead, he spent $7.8 billion more on American companies in his first year. Now he is replacing the Commissionaires, Canada's largest employer of veterans, with an American security firm. Why did he break his promise and choose an American company over Canadian veterans?”

“Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister made big promises that he was going to buy Canadian. Then we learned that in his first year in office, he spent $7.8 billion more than the previous year on American companies, with Canadian tax dollars. This week, we learned that he cast aside the Commissionaires, the single largest employer of veterans in Canada, to favour an American security firm linked to Donald Trump and ICE. Why did the Prime Minister, after making his big promise, cast aside our veterans to favour an American firm at Canadians’ expense?”

“The Prime Minister promised our tax money would go to Canadian businesses, especially Canadian veterans. Instead, the government spent this money on an American company and claims it had no control over the decision. Why did the Liberals choose an American company over Canadian veterans?”

“Mr. Speaker, the Liberals promised elbows up, and instead, they elbowed aside our veterans. Now their excuse is that they cannot control any of it, that all these billions of dollars for purchases are going out the door and the elected government has no authority to do anything about it at all, that this is just a bunch of self-determining bureaucrats. That is not what the Prime Minister promised. He said he was going to ensure that our Canadian tax dollars went to Canadian firms. At the front of that list should have been Canadian veterans. The Commissionaires should be protecting us. Why did the Liberals favour an American firm instead of Canadian veterans?”
