Pierre Paul-Hus Conservative
“Canada is in a recession, the Prime Minister has not fixed our problems with Donald Trump, and Quebec has lost 87,000 jobs this year. I want an emergency debate to hear the government's plan to fix this.”
“Mr. Speaker, the minister is right: The Liberals received a mandate, but they are not fulfilling their mandate. The proof is that we are currently in a recession. Furthermore, the Prime Minister swore he was the only one capable of resolving the problem with Donald Trump. A year and a half later, absolutely nothing has been resolved. Meanwhile, 87,000 jobs were lost in Quebec during the first four months of 2026. Nearly half of those were lost in the construction and manufacturing sectors. The Conservatives are requesting an emergency debate because we want to know what the plan is. Instead of listening to all sorts of nonsense, can we have an emergency debate to find out what the government’s plan really is and see if we can help?”
