“Mr. Speaker, my colleague began his remarks by talking about the kind of society we want and what we want for our country’s future. On this side of the House, we have a plan that translates into concrete measures aimed at strengthening the Canadian economy and making it more resilient, to ensure we have a stronger Canadian economy that gives us the fiscal capacity to support measures like the one we are debating tonight, that is, extending the suspension of the excise tax. I think it is safe to say that Canadians have repeatedly demonstrated their confidence in our plan for Canada, whether during the last general election or in the six by-elections, including the most recent ones that took place over the summer. I would like to ask my colleague whether the results of the recent by-elections are a sign of the public’s confidence in our plan, particularly as it relates to building a stronger economy that meets everyone’s needs.”
