Telecommunications  Mr. Speaker, that answer is very simple. Every single day, that is exactly what I did. He is a member for whom I have enormous respect, but I would bring him back to this statement. We actually blocked the merger of Shaw and Rogers. I denied the licence. Maybe he missed that part of the statement.

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his question. This is an issue that affects all Canadians, and I understand the situation. I have the utmost respect for my colleague, and he knows that that is why I have asked the presidents of several large corporations and businesses across the country to do their part.

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, everyone in the House is concerned about inflation and about the prices Canadians across the country are facing when they go grocery shopping. That is exactly why I called upon the leaders of these supermarkets and grocery chains across the nation to do their part to help Canadians.

Finance  Mr. Speaker, we will take no lessons from the Conservatives. Canadians who are watching at home remember that the last advice they gave to Canadians was about crypto. We will continue to invest in skills and people. We will continue to invest in our ecosystem. We will continue to invest in our critical minerals.

Climate Change  Mr. Speaker, we have been working with labour across the country. In fact, we are going to be the first country in the world to be producing green steel, green aluminum, and we are working on green batteries. We do not need to look back very much. Just look at the announcement we made with Rio Tinto recently.

Questions on the Order Paper  Mr. Speaker, with regard to part (a), details of this agreement are subject to commercial confidentiality and cannot be disclosed at this time. With regard to part (b), potential supply chain investments following this project were assessed. This investment will not only position Canada as a global leader in the production of electric vehicle, or EV, batteries, but also support the development of a sustainable domestic battery manufacturing sector in Canada.

Privacy  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question, for her excellent work and for her leadership. As my colleagues will attest, there is a lot of enthusiasm for what we did today. Earlier, I introduced the Digital Charter Implementation Act, 2022, which will give people more power to protect their personal information and their children.

Digital Charter Implementation Act, 2022  moved for leave to introduce Bill C-27, An Act to enact the Consumer Privacy Protection Act, the Personal Information and Data Protection Tribunal Act and the Artificial Intelligence and Data Act and to make consequential and related amendments to other Acts. (Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)

Telecommunications  Mr. Speaker, affordability, affordability, affordability: That is what is driving our government policy, and my colleague knows that very well. My position has been made very clear. I have said I would not allow the wholesale transfer of licences from Shaw to Rogers. The matter is now under review by the Competition Bureau, and it is going to be looked at by the CRTC.

Aerospace Industry  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for his excellent question and for the hard work that he does every day for the entire region. I was pleased for all aerospace workers to announce that our government has awarded an $800 million contract to Bell Textron in Mirabel, Quebec, to extend the life of the Royal Canadian Air Force's fleet of 85 Griffon helicopters until 2030.

Access to Information  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his question. Our government has always made it a priority to be open and transparent with all Canadians while also taking care not to compromise national security. That is why, through the Investment Canada Act, we are ensuring that major investments and transactions benefit the Canadian economy, something I think all parliamentarians would agree with.

Access to Information  Mr. Speaker, I think that all Canadians watching today understand that our government has always been transparent, but as I was explaining to my colleagues on the other side, we also have a responsibility as a government to protect national security. That is why, in certain circumstances, when it is in the national interest, we will continue to be transparent on every level.

Post-Secondary Education  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. We, on this side of the House, do indeed trust our universities. That is why we are making massive investments in science, research and innovation because those things are important. My colleagues in the House want the scientific community to reflect Canada's diversity.

Post-Secondary Education  Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for allowing me to speak about the investments we have made in science. In recent years, we have seen what an important role science, technology and innovation play in finding solutions to the great challenges that humanity faces, from climate change to COVID‑19.

Public Safety  Madam Speaker, this gives me the opportunity to come back to the announcement we made yesterday. This has never been about a race. This is about national security. What we announced yesterday is our intention to exclude equipment and services from Huawei and ZTE from the 5G telecommunication network in Canada.
