Automotive Industry  Mr. Speaker, General Motors is obviously making a huge mistake by abandoning the workers in Oshawa. Our government supports auto workers and their families. We have been consistent and clear on this during our meetings with GM, union representatives and our provincial and munici

Automotive Industry  Mr. Speaker, we will take no lessons from the Conservatives when it comes to supporting our auto workers. During their 10 years in power, the Conservatives were responsible for the loss of 40,000 jobs in the auto sector. Stephen Harper's Conservatives left lapsed funding in the

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, we are currently reviewing the Supreme Court's ruling to assess how it might affect our marketplace framework laws and the Canadian economy. Our government understands the importance of effective environmental protection regimes, as well as a sustainable and prospero

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, our government understands the importance of an effective environmental protection regime as well as a sustainable and prosperous energy resource sector. Our insolvency laws are designed to balance environmental obligations, the ability of Canadian companies to restr

International Trade  Mr. Speaker, as my colleague from Chicoutimi—Le Fjord mentioned, we provided a $2-billion support program, which is very important for the companies affected by these unjustifiable duties. To give my colleague examples of the type of investment we have made over the past year, w

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, first, I want to acknowledge my colleague for speaking French at the beginning of her speech. She did a great job, and I think it is important to acknowledge that. The figures she mentioned come from the Fraser Institute. However, she left out some important details

Employment  Madam Speaker, the government believes that Canadians who have lived quiet, dedicated lives deserve peace of mind in retirement. I would like to point out that our government has created more than 800,000 jobs through the platform it has implemented over the past three years. Can

Innovation, Science and Economic Development  Mr. Speaker, I thank the member from Brossard—Saint-Lambert for her excellent question. This morning, the Prime Minister was in Saint-Hubert to announce an investment of more than $2 billion in Canada's space program. This historic investment is part of Canada's new partnership

Science and Technology  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Don Valley North for his question. Our government has launched a new space strategy based on exploration, imagination and innovation. The strategy aims to leverage Canadian strengths, while advancing science and innovation in exciting areas.

Automotive Industry  Mr. Speaker, our government has always been committed to supporting auto workers, their families and the industry as a whole. Our government has invested over $5.6 billion in the auto sector, which has served to created and maintain tens of thousands of jobs since we took office.

Statistics Canada  Madam Speaker, I am pleased to respond to the question from my colleague from Windsor West. I would like to focus on Statistics Canada's pilot project to collect banking information. I want to remind Canadians that this pilot project was still at the design stage and that no dat

Statistics Canada  Madam Speaker, let me reiterate that, of course, the Government of Canada is committed to protecting Canadians' privacy and that personal information related to data collected by Statistics Canada has always been and will always be protected. I repeat, no data was collected as p

Automotive Industry  Mr. Speaker, as we have stated several times, we believe that General Motors made a mistake when it closed the Oshawa assembly plant, and that is what the minister told GM's CEO at a meeting in Detroit last January. We know that the plant closure will have an impact that ripple

Automotive Industry  Madam Speaker, it is unfortunate that the hon. member across the way is playing politics with an issue like this. If she had listened to the Minister of Transport explain the program, she would know that the Pacifica is part of the program. As I said earlier, we believe that Gen

Automotive Industry  Mr. Speaker, I am happy to respond to the comments of the member for Windsor West regarding the auto industry and, more specifically, the situation in Oshawa. As we and the minister have repeatedly said, General Motors made a mistake when it announced the closure of the Oshawa
