Mr. Speaker, when I was growing up, I learned a core Canadian value: Canada succeeds when people are free to make choices for themselves. In Davos, the Prime Minister signalled different values. He believes markets should not follow people's choices but be set by regulators, banks and global institutions. He believes that individual choice should be replaced by imposed outcomes decided by a small group of elites. However, that philosophy rejects a core Canadian value: freedom.
Freedom is like the family in my riding who took a failing plastics factory, bought by their grandfather in the 1960s, and turned it into a world-class producer of anti-doping kits for the Olympics. Freedom is like the Ugly Potato Day at the Heppell's farm in Surrey, where thousands of kilos of wonky potatoes that grocery stores do not want are given away for free to families who absolutely do want them.
Those ideas do not come from Davos. They come from free Canadians solving real problems in the real world.
Now, that is a real Canadian value we can take straight to the bank.
