“Mr. Speaker, I thank the member opposite for that very important question. The national contact point does amazing work to make sure that our supply chains are protected against forced labour. We will continue making sure that it does this diligent work. In terms of the CORE, we will make a decision in due course.”
“Mr. Speaker, our international efforts are about bringing results home for workers here in Canada. I will talk about our trip to China in January and the $7 billion dollars of agriculture access to China for our farmers across the country. That is more access for our canola growers, our beef farmers and our seafood sector.”
“Mr. Speaker, investments coming into Canada are at record levels, actually close to 20-year highs. Last year alone, there was $97 billion of foreign direct investment into Canada. That is more major projects being built. That is major, big aircraft being built here in Canada. Airbus has a current deal with Mirabel.”
“Madam Speaker, we are building big projects across the country to create new opportunities and new jobs through the new build communities strong fund.”
“Mr. Speaker, this is not a Google search. These are real projects with real workers building big things. There is Darlington's new nuclear project in Bowmanville and its 18,000 jobs; the Port of Montreal expansion and its 8,000 jobs; the copper mine project in Saskatchewan and its 500 jobs; the Grays Bay road and port project, which is en…”
“Mr. Speaker, to get more Canadian exports to new markets and create jobs, we are championing major projects like the Darlington nuclear project with 18,000 jobs in Ontario; the port of Montreal project, 8,000 jobs; the copper mine project in Saskatchewan, 500 jobs; the Grays Bay road and port project, nearly 3,000 jobs in the north; and t…”

“The four years I have spent at Global Affairs Canada have strengthened my relationships with international partners as I take on this new role as Canada's Minister of International Trade. It was truly the honour of a lifetime to be appointed to this new role a few weeks back, and I am grateful to the Prime Minister for his trust in me in this vital role, especially at a time of great uncertainty in global trade. First and foremost, I want to assure members of the House that this new government stands ready to defend Canada's interests. We will do what is best for Canadians and we will do what is best for the Canadian economy. That means supporting businesses and jobs here in Canada across various sectors as they expand into new markets around the world. We have what the world needs.”
“Madam Chair, as this is my first time rising for a speech in this House, I would like to take a moment to thank my incredible team of volunteers, my family and, of course, the residents of Brampton East for their support and for putting their trust in me to serve them here in Ottawa. I would also like to take a moment to congratulate all members of this House on their recent election wins. I look forward to working across party lines as we support Canadians from coast to coast to coast. Prior to politics, I spent 13 years facilitating international trade with businesses across Canada, and I have seen first-hand the impacts that international trade can have on jobs in communities across Canada.”
“Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague from Scarborough—Agincourt for her tireless advocacy. I have hit the ground running. A couple of weeks ago I was in Ecuador, meeting with regional leaders and marking the conclusion of a new trade agreement that is to come. Last week I was in Paris, meeting with a dozen trade ministers to talk trade and economic opportunities. Canada has what the world needs. I will continue working with industry leaders to discuss opportunities around the Indo-Pacific, the European Union and many regions around the world. Trade diversification will help create jobs here at home and help build the fastest-growing economy in the G7.”
