Agriculture committee  They'll see it and they'll say they need this on their land. In terms of promotion, we're an industry. We're not a part of that $56 billion that we're going to push up to $75 billion by 2025. I just verified with Ag Canada that agricultural equipment products are not within that. That's okay, but our products are always sold to farmers, so if the farmers are doing a really good job and they're prosperous, we too will benefit from that.

Agriculture committee  Canadian food exports have grown 77% over the last 10 years, 20% from 2013 to 2015 alone, to $56 billion annually. The United States alone accounts for $29 billion. We rank as the number one supplier of agriculture and agrifood products to the U.S., which is the world's second largest importer of agrifood and seafood products, with Canada's share proudly sitting at 19.2%.

Softwood Lumber  Now the Liberals are messing around with the employment insurance fund. The last Liberal government helped itself to $56 billion of that money. The Liberals have done that in the past. Forestry workers want to work, not collect employment insurance. Giving them more employment insurance cheques will not create jobs.

International Trade committee  Trade Agreement, Canada's agrifood exports have grown by five times, from $10 billion in 1988 to $56 billion in 2016—a five-fold increase since the beginning of NAFTA. Together, the U.S. and Mexico represent a little over half of Canada's agrifood exports. Of course, because trade is a two-way street, it has been good for the U.S. and good for Mexico as well.

Finance committee  We must then add the amount already included in the crown corporations' plans, meaning $43 billion over the next three years, and a contingency reserve of 5%, which is $56 billion. The total equals the amount established.

May 8th, 2017Committee meeting

Nicolas Moreau

Finance committee  The 5% is taken from the highest level of the combined government and crown corporation debt over the next three years. The amount we're adding is $56 billion for the next three years. Overall, this explains the one trillion, one hundred and sixty-eight billion dollars of borrowing approval that we have included under proposed section 4 in clause 103.

Nicolas Moreau

Agriculture committee  The federal government's budget for 2017 includes the objective to grow Canada's annual agrifood exports from $56 billion per year to $75 billion per year by 2025. All indications are clear that there is enough demand for Canada's products to achieve this ambitious target within the next eight years. However, our agrifood system relies on people—farm and food businesses and their workers—to grow, harvest, prepare, and package its products.

Portia MacDonald-Dewhirst

Business of Supply  Speaker, simply put, when we look at what the Conservative government did after coming into power, we see it put $56 billion toward paying down the debt and cut taxes, which allowed the Canadian economy to be already ready when the financial crisis in 2006-07 and the subsequent great recession hit, the largest drop in demand since the great depression came.

Budget Implementation Act, 2016, No. 2  Yukon College has a plan, with the other three northern colleges, to take adults who may not be literate and upgrade them to the next stage. It is about $56 billion for the three colleges that cover half of northern Canada. That would be a great project to fund in the new budget.

Larry BagnellLiberal

Finance committee  Our sector is the face of small businesses, with over 26,000 retail locations serving more than 10 million Canadians every day. In 2015 alone, Canadians purchased more than $56 billion in goods and services from our stores, resulting in over $21 billion in tax revenue for governments. Our pre-budget recommendations for 2017 are focused around three challenges facing our industry.

International Trade committee  We know that TPP countries represent nearly 800 million potential customers and account for 40% of the world's GDP and 65% of Canada's $56 billion in agriculture and food trade. In terms of soybeans, the total value of soybean exports to TPP countries reached close to $1 billion in 2015. The Asia-Pacific region encompasses a large segment of key soybean export markets, with roughly 40% of total Canadian exports shipped to TPP nations.

Jim Everson

Finance committee  Over the last 10 years, our food exports have grown by almost 80%, from $31 billion to over $56 billion, and that has boosted farm cash receipts by almost 50% over the same period. Agriculture is the third-largest single contributor to our GDP, 8% of the total GDP employment, one out of every eight jobs.

Casey Vander Ploeg

Business of Supply  There is no government money involved in that whatsoever. We simply run the program. That purging of the system has to stop. There was $56 billion that was stolen from workers. They need to return it now.

Brian MasseNDP

Business of Supply  I do not know how much sponsorship scandal money came out of the EI fund, but we know $56 billion came out. We believe in lowering the small business tax rate, not a loan. Maybe the confusion the Liberal Party has is that it voted against something without understanding it, because the proposal from us was to lower it by 20%.

Economic Action Plan 2015 Act, No. 1  When it comes to this long list of things the hon. member talked about, there is no plan in anything New Democrats say about how they will actually pay for them. After the last election, they had something like $56 billion in increased spending. It sounds as though they are going to outdo themselves this time around and have maybe $100 billion in increased spending by the government. Would the member like to comment on where the money for all of these things New Democrats want to put forward will come from?
