Business & Financial Interests
Before being elected to Parliament, Angelo Iacono worked as a lawyer for over 20 years. He reportedly founded and served as the president of his own law firm, Iacono Avocats Inc. His legal practice focused on areas such as civil and commercial litigation, tax law, and real estate law.
Potential Conflicts of Interest
In 2017, questions were raised about a private member's bill sponsored by Angelo Iacono. The bill, which proposed a tax deduction for tradespeople's travel expenses, was reportedly very similar to a proposal from the FTQ-Construction union. Media reports noted that the union had run advertisements supporting Iacono. The matter was referred to the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner, who reviewed the complaint but decided not to launch a formal inquiry, stating there were not sufficient grounds to believe a contravention of the Conflict of Interest Act had occurred.
Public Controversies
In 2021, Angelo Iacono faced criticism for making inappropriate comments towards Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner during a virtual session of the House of Commons. He was accused of making a remark that she was "turning him on." Iacono later issued a formal apology in the House, stating that his comments were inappropriate and that he withdrew them unconditionally.

Mr. Speaker, as Canada works to diversify its trade and reduce reliance on any single trading partner, how can we build our long-lasting relationship with the European Union to strengthen our economic ties, expand opportunities for Canadian businesses and workers and unlock the full potential of this important partnership?
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to offer my full support to the mayor of Laval, Stéphane Boyer, who is currently recovering from surgery to remove a brain tumour. For several years now, Mr. Boyer has dedicated himself to serving the Laval community. Public life demands a deep commitment and many sacrifices, both for elected officials and for their loved ones. Today, I want to express my solidarity
C‑39 Mr. Speaker, it is quite simple: real projects planned out with predictable permitting timelines. Any serious project requires planning. Businesses, workers and communities need to know when decisions will be made. That is why Billseeks to make processes more predictable and efficient, with the goal of reaching a federal decision within one year when an application is complete. This does not
C-39 Madam Speaker, how would Billhelp attract more investment to Canada while giving indigenous communities and peoples a say in approval processes?
Mr. Speaker, I completely disagree with my colleague's remarks. Bill C‑39 does not release our government from its duty to consult indigenous peoples and respect their rights. On the contrary, it seeks to make consultations more coordinated and more predictable. Our government is proposing a coordinated consultation process to facilitate indigenous participation in project assessments.
Madam Speaker, if my opposition colleague claims to stand up for workers, why would he not support measures that increase health and safety inspections and strengthen the dispute resolution process?
C‑39 Mr. Speaker, I completely agree with my colleague. This is the type of leadership Canada needs today. We have the resources, workers and businesses needed to build a stronger economy. Billgives us the tools to move projects forward more quickly, attract investment and strengthen our supply chains, all without compromising our environmental standards or our commitments to indigenous peoples.
C‑39 Mr. Speaker, I am proud to rise today to express my support for Bill, the building Canada strong act. As the member for Alfred-Pellan, I represent a community that is at the heart of a growing region. Laval is a vibrant city of workers, families and businesses that depend on efficient infrastructure to grow. Bill C‑39 is based on a simple reality: The world is changing quickly, so Canada
