DEBATE FACT CHECK: Buy Canada policy

At approximately 9:28 Gilles Duceppe said that “I find it astonishing that only the Bloc Quebecois has a Buy Canada policy”.

“Expand employment in our communities, build new markets for Canadian suppliers, strengthen sustainability commitments, and encourage Canadian entrepreneurship by adopting a Made-in-Canada procurement policy for the federal government and its agencies.”
