Mr. Speaker, generational fairness is one of our top priorities. In fact, it was one of the key themes of the last federal budget. This week, we are making changes to the capital gains inclusion rate. These changes will not only allow us to pay for the green energy transition, but they will also create jobs for this and future generations. We can already see that our economic plan is working. We have record investments and are creating prosperity for generations to come. We know that the Conservatives will probably vote against it. On our side of the House, we will always be there for this and future generations.

  • Re: Bill C-34 
Madam Speaker, I can see the enthusiasm on the other side for what we tabled just this week. As I was saying, we know that economic security is indeed national security, something that our colleagues raised this morning. Earlier this week, I was proud to table a bill that would amend the Investment Canada Act so that our government can act more decisively when it comes to foreign investments and national security.
