FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Ottawa, ON – Aaron Gunn, MP, has been appointed to serve as a member of the Special Joint Committee on the Exercise of Powers Under the Building Canada Act (BCAN).
BCAN was established to review, scrutinize, and oversee the exercise of powers and the Cabinet and ministers’ duties related to the Building Canada Act. When the federal government deals with new and nation-building infrastructure projects, Conservative BCAN members will defend against corruption, ensure value for taxpayers’ money, and promote the ethical allocation of resources.
BCAN will begin meeting in February when it will elect its Chair and Vice-Chairs and begin its business. MP Gunn looks forward to scrutinizing and holding the Liberal government accountable for their use of, or lack thereof, of their special powers to get Canada building.
“As the United States continues its hostile and unjustified trade war targeting Canada, I know that our country needs to build and diversify its economy urgently,” said MP Gunn. “However, nearly seven months after the Building Canada Act was passed, the Liberal government has yet to put a shovel in the ground or refer a project to this committee. This is not acceptable. The time for talk is over. We want action and we want it now.”
The Liberals are failing to cut through the red tape and get Canada moving on major infrastructure projects. Once BCAN gets to work, MP Gunn is focused on pressing the Liberal government to act because our economy, and the livelihoods of Canadians, depend on it.
MP Gunn invites you to follow him on his social media to stay up to date on his work with BCAN.
