Mr. Speaker, it is an absolutely wonderful story that we have with regard to investments in Canada, and for those who come to this country to invest and create opportunities for employment in manufacturing, as well as the opportunity in the long run for Canadians on investments. This is one of the first times in the history of our country that we actually have the floodgates wide open because it is all about confidence. People are going to invest in this country because of the confidence that is here that they would actually be making money.
In fact, I was talking to a group this morning from chemical corporations in this country that are dealing with investments. They are looking at infrastructure builds of $5 billion over the next five years. They are saying that they have corporations all over the world, but the corporations that are making the most money are really Canadian corporations. Why? It is because of the competitive advantage that we are giving them. We are working to make certain that we have the opportunities for Canadians to be able to develop manufacturing jobs and good jobs in the long run. These are one small example of the kinds of investments that are coming into this country.
When it comes to Canada Post, CBC and other crown corporations, they are arm's-length from government, but we want to make sure that they are sustainable in the long run. We have to work and be responsible to Canadians and to the public we represent by making sure that these crown corporations move in that direction. That is where I believe this piece of legislation will take us.
Monsieur le Président, au Canada, nous avons créé un excellent climat pour les investissements et les gens qui viennent ici pour investir et créer des possibilités d'emplois dans le secteur manufacturier, ainsi que pour les Canadiens qui veulent investir à long terme. C'est l'une des premières fois dans notre histoire que nous laissons les portes toutes grandes ouvertes parce que nous savons que c'est une question de confiance. Les gens investiront dans notre pays parce qu'ils sont convaincus que cela leur rapportera.
En effet, je parlais ce matin à des représentants de sociétés de produits chimiques qui s'occupent des investissements. Au cours des cinq prochaines années, ils envisagent de construire des infrastructures d'une valeur de 5 milliards de dollars. Ils affirment qu'ils ont des entreprises partout dans le monde, mais que celles qui rapportent le plus sont les entreprises canadiennes. Pourquoi? C'est grâce à l'avantage concurrentiel que nous leur donnons. Nous voulons donner aux Canadiens la possibilité de créer des emplois dans le secteur manufacturier et de bons emplois à long terme. Ce n'est qu'un petit exemple du genre d'investissements qui se font dans notre pays.
Pour ce qui est de la Société canadienne des postes, de CBC/Radio-Canada et d'autres sociétés d'État, elles sont indépendantes du gouvernement, mais nous voulons assurer leur viabilité à long terme. Nous devons travailler et rendre des comptes aux Canadiens et à la population que nous représentons en veillant à ce que ces sociétés d'État se dirigent dans cette direction. Je crois que la mesure législative nous permettra d'atteindre cet objectif.
