Mr. Speaker, is it not surprising for my colleague to see that a government gives $9 billion in contracts, including a $3.4 billion contract to Boeing, while letting the company decide on its own where to invest the money from the contract, as long as there are spinoffs for Canada? Is the government not surrendering its responsibility? Should it not commit to respecting the current distribution of aerospace industries in Canada?
