Conservative on Budget 2025 Implementation Act, No. 2 2026-06-01

117 words · 5 sentences · 6 clauses

Replying to Kevin Lamoureux (Liberal)

“Madam Speaker, it is important for us to recognize that within the budget, we actually have an allocation to support Canada’s Red Seal program. We are talking about anywhere from 80,000 to 100,000 new Red Seal workers and skilled jobs, good quality jobs. The Conservative Party has not been clear on whether or not they will even support it. They appear to be in opposition even to that measure. I am wondering if the member can be precise and indicate that she will support that program by supporting the budget.”

This view breaks the statement into its steps and names what each one does.

Madam Speaker, Claims · 67 wordsof course, we support the Red Seal program. The issue is that it is one thing buried in a 330‑page bill that we have only had three and a half hours to debate, ¹and which this government has just tried to shut down further debate on.² The challenge is that we have already seen bills come through with sloppy drafting that infringe on the rights of Canadians. Reasoning · 10 wordsUnfortunately, we have to take the bill as a whole. Claims · 40 wordsI would also note that while the bill has provisions for a Red Seal program, it is not expanded to a blue seal program that would allow professionals to get into positions where they could practise their professions in Canada.³Partly on point
