Mr. Speaker, Positioning · 90 words I would invite my colleague to reread all the opposition motions that have been put forward in the past year.1 When it comes to the Conservatives, there is rarely anything substantive. It is always couched in hyperbole and exaggeration. There is little substance in their motions, and criticism comes easily. They are drafted in such a way that it is clear they cannot be supported. Personally, I would like to see more substance and more solutions in Conservative opposition day motions. We were talking about results, and we want results. Positioning Claims · 45 words Canada is expected to have the second-strongest growth in the G7 this year.2 Exports to non-U.S. markets are expected to double over the next decade.3 Foreign direct investment in Canada is up.4 We have signed more than 20 trade and partnership agreements around the world.5 Positioning · 15 words These are concrete results that are making a real difference for the people we represent.
