I’m shocked to learn that Dalian Enterprises, labeled as an Indigenous business, received over $100 million in taxpayer funds. They've now been removed from the Indigenous business list, but Liberal Minister Patty Hajdu won’t explain why. Are they truly Indigenous, and will they return the money if not?

SHOCKING. ArriveScam Contractor Dalian Enterprises got over $100 million of taxpayers’ dollars because they got identified as an Indigenous business. BUT, they have now been quietly removed from the Indigenous business list. Liberal Minster Patty Hajdu refuses to say why. So, is Dalian an Indigenous company or not? If they are not, then will they be forced to return the money?

The purpose of the Indigenous business directory is to identify the indigeneity of listed businesses. Dalian Enterprises was removed from this list due to questionable factors, as indicated by officials. Although they received over $100 million from the government through a joint venture, they are no longer on the list. The list is not permanent and is subject to review based on changing circumstances, such as ownership structures. The goal of the directory is to support economic development opportunities for Indigenous businesses. However, there seems to be a discrepancy between the current explanation and previous statements made in March.

Speaker 0: You said in March that the purpose of the directory was to identify, indigeneity of those on the list. Why was the ArriveCAN contractor Dalian Enterprise removed from that list?
Speaker 1: I don't have specifics but
Speaker 0: I will turn to I'd like your answer, Minister. We heard from the officials on this last week. You weren't at Ogo. I'd like to hear from you now. Why was ArriveCAN contractor Dalian Enterprises removed from the Indigenous business list?
Can we assume that it's because they were determined not to be Indigenous or is there some other reason they were removed from the list?
Speaker 1: I can't make assumptions on administrative decisions of the department but what I can tell you is that if circumstances change and ownership structures of businesses then they very well may be either added to the list or removed from the list.
Speaker 0: Okay. Is Dalian Enterprises an Indigenous business?
Speaker 1: We don't work with Dalian Enterprises we don't have contracts with Dalian.
Speaker 0: I know but you did they received over $100,000,000 from the government of Canada they were part of the ArriveCAN contract they were able to get it on the basis of an indigenous set aside through a joint venture with a much larger company even though they're only a 2 person company. Again, could you clarify why Dalian Enterprises was removed from the indigenous business list?
Speaker 1: I have we no longer have Dalian and joint venture companies on the list, and indigenous service Canada doesn't have or nor has had any contracts with Dalian.
Speaker 0: But but why were they removed from that list?
Speaker 1: The officials, have indicated they were suspended on March 12th, due to questionable factors. And in fact, their suspension was announced on March 1st, so they are no longer on the list.
Speaker 0: So I'm aware that there's some questionable factors involving Dalian that's why I'm asking questions about it. Could you clarify please if they were suspended or removed on March 1st what was the reason they were removed?
Speaker 1: So I will just reiterate that the purpose of the list is to support Mister,
Speaker 0: I want you to answer the question. Why were they removed?
Speaker 1: So I will just reiterate the
Speaker 0: purpose of the list. Answer the question. Possibility, but it's not today. Maybe the deputy minister can answer, if if the minister doesn't know. Maybe if the could our deputy minister share with
Speaker 1: us Mister chair,
Speaker 0: My question is simple. Either the minister can answer it or maybe the deputy minister can answer it. Why was Dalian Enterprises removed from the list?
Speaker 1: Mister chair, through you, I've given an answer to that question, and the list is not permanent list engraved in stone as the minister as the member would know. Certainly that list certainly that that list is, is something that is, reviewed, as per the request of other departments. The list exists, let's remind members, to ensure that economic development opportunities are
Speaker 0: there for indigenous businesses. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Minister. Again, this reference to economic development is completely different from what you said when you appeared in March.

Conservatives stand with Ukraine. Ukraine needs weapons, not a Carbon Tax. https://t.co/YknGcFkXXN
Video Transcript AI Summary
In parliament, there is a debate about what Ukraine needs. Conservatives believe Ukraine needs weapons, while liberals think a carbon tax is necessary. The Canada Ukraine free trade deal, negotiated by conservatives, aimed to strengthen trade and prosperity. However, liberals want to turn trade deals into international agreements to promote their ideology. They proposed adding a carbon tax to the trade deal, which conservatives oppose. Conservatives argue that Ukraine needs weapons to defend itself against Russia. Liberals and New Democrats rejected the proposal for more weapons but supported the carbon tax. Conservatives prioritize supporting Ukraine and Canadians, promising to provide lethal weapons and maintain the tax.

Speaker 0: Right now, we're having a debate in parliament about what Ukraine really needs. Conservatives think Ukraine needs weapons. Liberals think Ukraine needs a carbon tax. Years ago, conservatives negotiated a free trade deal between Canada and Ukraine. It was a good Trade deal for both countries that emphasized trade.
It was aimed at strengthening opportunity and prosperity in both countries. Again, it was a trade deal about trade. In the past, Liberals have often opposed free trade, but now they have this new idea. They call it progressive trade deals. That has become their coded language for turning trade deals into binding international agreements to advance their preferred policy Liberals don't want trade to be about trade.
They actually want trade to be about liberal ideology. So Liberals renegotiated the Canada Ukraine free trade deal and they wanted to add Unbelievably, a carbon tax. Their proposed new Canada Ukraine free trade deal actually includes a carbon tax. This has nothing to do with trade and everything to do with liberal ideology. Now we don't need this deal in order to have free trade between Canada and Ukraine.
We already have free trade between Canada and Ukraine. Conservatives still try to make this This deal better by proposing a motion to expand the scope of this bill to include weapons. We want to make it easier to sell weapons to Ukraine and for Canadian businesses invest in weapons manufacturing in Ukraine. Meanwhile, the closet pacifist and some of the other parties might not like me saying this, but the bottom Line is that the Ukrainian army needs guns and bullets to use to kill Russian soldiers. That's how war works.
No amount of good intentions and flowery speeches and performative allyship are going to get around that simple reality. Ukraine needs more lethal Weapons. And that's why we propose to expand the scope of this bill. While putting a carbon tax into the Canada Ukraine free trade deal. Liberals and New Democrats voted against our motion to put weapons in the deal.
They said yes to a carbon tax and no to our proposals for more weapons. Conservatives have always been clear. We will stand with Ukraine, and we will stand with Canadians. We will send Ukraine more lethal weapons faster than we will axe the tax here at home. Let's bring it home.
