“The Conservatives do not have an economic plan, but we do. Our budget gives businesses tax breaks to invest and produce more. We are also building infrastructure and selling more Canadian goods to other countries.”
“Mr. Speaker, speaking of a lack of leadership, Canadians have been looking for the Conservative Party’s economic plan for at least two years. No one has found it yet, because it does not exist. I would invite my colleague to look at the superdeduction in budget 2025, for example. Accelerated depreciation will encourage businesses to invest and increase their productivity. That is exactly what our government’s strategy is, but that is not all; it also includes diversifying our markets. Today, the numbers speak for themselves, as my colleague said. We have increased our exports to the European Union by 23% and to the United Kingdom by 62%, and we are investing in our infrastructure, at the ports of Quebec and Montreal, for instance, in order to boost productivity across the country.”
