Mr. Speaker, hard-working Canadians are struggling with the cost of living, but in Sault Ste. Marie, the Prime Minister handed 400 million taxpayer dollars to a company, knowing it was going to lay off 1,000 workers. The Prime Minister's response was “bah, humbug”. Although prime minister Scrooge talks about fairness and sacrifice, after his spending years at Brookfield helping it dodge paying taxes here in Canada, even Jacob Marley's ghost paid more taxes in Canada than Brookfield does.
However, all that is part of the Prime Minister's master plan to help his friends at Brookfield, like Denis Turcotte, the former CEO at Algoma Steel. Algoma is undergoing a multi-year transition to electricity, but do members know where that electricity is going to come from? It will come from Brookfield-owned hydro plants. While Brookfield's billions vanish into Bermuda bicycle shops, Algoma's families are left in the cold.
Conservatives will never stop fighting for Canadians this Christmas.
