CANADA-U.S. IPG ATTENDS SPRING MEETING OF THE CAN/AM BORDER TRADE ALLIANCE
Mr. Brian Masse (Windsor West, NDP): Mr. Speaker, for months now, an important bill that passed through the House unopposed sits in the Senate penalty box waiting for a final vote at third reading.
Mr. Brian Masse (Windsor West, NDP): The problem, Mr. Speaker, is Conservatives are preoccupied and obsessed with shipping 40,000 jobs to the U.S. down the Keystone pipeline at the expense of everything else in Washington. The Canadian Chamber of Commerce president said that making the borders thicker is exactly the wrong way to go and the Conservative government already set the example by setting the stage for cuts from the U.S.
With the issuing of the Presidential Permit for the new public crossing connecting Windsor-Detroit we have cleared an important hurdle in the process to add meaningful and necessary border capacity through our region. This is a significant next step and I am happy to see this project moving forward.
As we enter into this next phase we need to ensure that our investment develops into a signature infrastructure project that yields economic benefits for the host communities as well as the entire North American economy.
