I really believe that all of us on this committee, including elected leaders in B.C., agree that every government must re-evaluate its procurement policies to ensure that we're supporting Canadian workers, businesses and the economy.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8867898\" data-originallang=\"en\">God knows the world has changed over the last few months. It changes on a daily basis, especially when you look at the tariffs that are coming from the Americans.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8867899\" data-originallang=\"en\">You talked about this in your opening statement, but, if you can, I want you to elaborate on it in the time that we have. For years you've been working to advance reciprocal procurement here in Canada, so that we're not benefiting our adversaries but supporting Canadians. Could you speak about your work to advance reciprocal procurement and what that means for Canada?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8867896\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8867897\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la ministre, on a beaucoup parl\u00e9 aujourd\u2019hui du processus d\u2019approvisionnement provincial. Je pense vraiment que nous tous au Comit\u00e9, y compris les dirigeants \u00e9lus en Colombie-Britannique, convenons que tous les gouvernements doivent r\u00e9\u00e9valuer leurs politiques d\u2019approvisionnement pour s\u2019assurer de soutenir les travailleurs, les entreprises et l\u2019\u00e9conomie du Canada. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8867898\" data-originallang=\"en\">On sait \u00e0 quel point le monde a chang\u00e9 au cours des derniers mois. Il change chaque jour, surtout si on regarde les tarifs que les Am\u00e9ricains nous imposent. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8867899\" data-originallang=\"en\">Vous en avez parl\u00e9 dans votre d\u00e9claration liminaire, mais si je peux me le permettre, j\u2019aimerais obtenir plus de d\u00e9tails dans le temps qu\u2019il nous reste. Pendant des ann\u00e9es, vous avez cherch\u00e9 \u00e0 faire avancer l\u2019approvisionnement r\u00e9ciproque au Canada, ce qui ne profite pas \u00e0 nos adversaires, mais soutient les Canadiens. Pourriez-vous nous en dire plus sur votre travail pour faire progresser l\u2019approvisionnement r\u00e9ciproque et sur ce que cela signifie pour le Canada?</p>"
