Steven MacKinnon Liberal
“Canada faces global challenges, but our economic plan is working. We are investing in defence, industry, and major projects. The Leader of the Opposition should present his own plan instead of celebrating hard times.”
“Mr. Speaker, we have a plan, but we are also facing headwinds. It is clear that with the tariff threats, wars in the Middle East and wars in Europe, Canada is facing headwinds, but we have a plan. Our plan is working. We have a defence plan to spend money here. We have a plan for industry and, indeed, businesses are purchasing more equipment and materials. We have a plan for major projects. The real question is why does the Leader of the Opposition seem so happy to gloat over the fact that Canada is facing headwinds? Why is he not presenting his own plan?”
