Canada Business Corporations Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his important question. This is an esteemed colleague who, I believe, is also prepared to move this bill forward quickly. As I was saying, it is in Canada's best interest for us to adopt such a framework. My colleague will have noticed that we ensured that this registry would be capable of what is known as interoperability.

Canada Business Corporations Act  moved that Bill C-42, An Act to amend the Canada Business Corporations Act and to make consequential and related amendments to other Acts, be read the second time and referred to a committee. Madam Speaker, I am pleased to be here this morning to talk about Bill C-42, which is a very important bill.

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Louis‑Saint‑Laurent, for whom I have a great deal of respect. In addition to having listened to entrepreneurs, we have listened to all Canadians. Canadians are asking us to do three things: help them with the cost of living, invest in health and build an economic future that will foster prosperity and clean jobs for the future.

Health  Mr. Speaker, it is a bit rich for my colleague to criticize this government when, at the time, what we did was the responsible thing. The responsible thing we did at the time was to invest in a different family of vaccines. Why? It was to protect the lives of Canadians. Since that moment, we have invested a record amount of money in Canada to make sure that we have onshore biomanufacturing.

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, I have a great deal of respect for my colleague, but I think he skipped part of the budget yesterday. One of the key measures will help Canadians with the cost of living. The much-discussed grocery rebate will help more than 11 million Canadians across the country.

Aerospace Industry  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague. We are there for the aerospace industry. We always have been and always will be. It seems that my colleague's memory is failing a bit. He should recall that Premier Legault and the Canadian Prime Minister made the biggest announcement in Canadian aerospace history.

Finance  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Louis-Saint-Laurent. Yes, I will look him and the Canadians watching at home in the eye. We listened to Canadians. That is something that the members on that side of the House should do a little more often. Canadians asked us to help them with the cost of living.

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, Canadians who are watching us from home today saw a disconnected Leader of the Opposition. We listened carefully to Canadians. They asked us to do three things: take action to tackle the cost of living and, of course, the cost of food; invest in health care and dental care; and invest in the green economy to create the jobs of the future.

Innovation, Science and Industry  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague from Sudbury for that great question. Semiconductors are at the heart of the 21st-century economy. Last Friday, everyone in the House was very pleased to hear the President of the United States talking about the Albany-Bromont corridor, a major semiconductor manufacturing corridor.

Questions on the Order Paper  Mr. Speaker, with regard to part (a), in projects supported by the strategic innovation fund, or SIF, the Crown does not have an ownership interest in intellectual property resulting from the project, nor will the Crown acquire new rights in existing intellectual property owned or licensed by the company.

Questions on the Order Paper  Mr. Speaker, with regard to part (a), the Ellice Avenue property of National Research Council Canada, or NRC, was declared surplus in 2012, and the NRC began the process of selling the property in 2013. This process included consultation with indigenous communities and has involved various interested parties over the years.

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, I am surprised the member is not talking about the record of our government for eight years. Just this morning, there is a company right here in Ottawa, Ranovus, $100 million of investment in the top semiconductor in the world. We are becoming the silicon valley of the north.

Finance  Mr. Speaker, one thing Canadians listening at home know is that one dollar invested by this government will provide opportunities across the country. Canadians have seen that in biomanufacturing, for example, as we have Moderna in our country. Canadians are seeing that we are attracting the likes of Volkswagen to our country to build our ecosystem and the battery ecosystem.

Automotive Industry  Mr. Speaker, that is a great question. Bringing Volkswagen to Canada is a home run for the country. It is the first manufacturer we have brought into our country in 35 years, and it is the first time we bring a European manufacturer to Canada. This is a huge vote of confidence for Canada, it is a huge vote of confidence for the auto sector and it is a huge vote of confidence for our talented auto workers across this nation.

Canada Business Corporations Act  moved for leave to introduce Bill C‑42, An Act to amend the Canada Business Corporations Act, and to make consequential and related amendments to other Acts. (Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
