Connie Cody

Conservative on Budget 2025 Implementation Act, No. 2

Replying to Dominique O'Rourke (Liberal)
“Mr. Speaker, it was interesting this summer that I saw the member opposite post about announcements of regional tariff relief in her riding, and yet the members opposite voted against the budget, which had large liquidity supports to help businesses affected by the tariff war, the strategic response fund and the regional tariff relief that is keeping people employed. Is the member opposite also opposed to infrastructure spending, housing and helping these industries pivot to defence? Those are jobs that are important in her riding and mine.”

Mr. Speaker, being the tallest in a short room is not much of a plan. The measure that the Liberals like to quote is net debt, which counts the assets in our pension plan against what Ottawa owes. Those pension plans belong to Canadian workers and retirees and not to the government. This budget needs to focus on the concerns we are hearing from Canadians, and those are about making life affordable.
