Duclos and Champagne also discuss Amazon’s decision to close all of its distribution centres in Quebec.

Miller comments as well on immigration policies.

Sajjan faces questions on U.S. President Trump’s recent calls for NATO member countries to increase their defence spending to 5 per cent of GDP.
