Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Hull—Aylmer for his question.
In a world that is more divided and dangerous than ever, it is truly vital to give the Canadian Armed Forces the equipment they need to protect us. This has to happen quickly.
That is why I am so proud that we introduced Bill C‑40, the strengthening Canada's defence sector act, to bring procurement and investment together. The goal is to act more quickly, ensure that there are economic benefits for Canadians and have more direct, modern business practices. That is what we need to help strengthen our domestic production, meet the needs of the armed forces and support good jobs across the country.
