“The Conservative leader has achieved nothing in his 22 years in office. Canada's economy is doing well compared to other top nations, with strong growth and wages beating inflation. The Conservatives need to stop their media stunts and work with us to build Canada.”

“Mr. Speaker, the member’s leader talks about presence in the House. He has been here for 22 years and has produced nothing. Let us look at some economic facts: best fiscal position in the G7, second-fastest growing economy in the G7, best net debt-to-GDP in the G7 and wages outpacing inflation. It is time for that member’s leader and that party to stop the bizarre press conferences, stop the podcast tours and help us build Canada strong.”

“I want the opposition member to explain why she votes against school food, cheap child care, job training, housing, and clean water. The opposition opposes everything that helps Canadians.”

“Mr. Speaker, all across Canada, Canadians have been pulling together to make sure that we build Canada strong. I would challenge the member from the opposite party to ask herself this: Why is she voting against kids getting food in school? Why is she voting against affordable child care? Why does she vote against skilled tradespeople having the opportunity to fill their apprenticeship and actually get those great jobs? Why is she voting against investments in infrastructure, in housing and in water? It does not matter what solution we propose. Those guys are against Canada and Canadians.”

“We are getting things built. We announced a $4.4-billion pipeline expansion. It will add 2,500 construction jobs this summer and bring in hundreds of millions in tax money.”

It adds $700 million in tax revenue to B.C. and the federal government to build Canada strong. That is what we are doing.”

“Our plan will add 3.3 billion dollars to the economy, create 2,500 new jobs, and bring in 700 million dollars in taxes. The opposition ignores how good this is.”

“Mr. Speaker, I do not think he heard me: $3.3 billion in annual GDP, 2,500 new jobs and $700 million in new tax revenues. These guys just cannot see something good when it is ready to hit them right between the— Some hon. members: Oh, oh!”

“Our plan is to build across Canada. We are creating skilled trades jobs using Canadian steel, lumber, and aluminum, but the opposition will not support it.”

“Mr. Speaker, the building trades are in town this week, and I am excited to talk about our plan to build. We are building big, we are building bold and we are building across this country. From B.C. to Newfoundland, we are going to be putting good jobs in the skilled trades using Canadian steel, Canadian lumber and Canadian aluminum. We are building. It is time to invest. When will they get on board? Probably never.”

“We are spending money to build things. The Conservatives say they care about high costs, but they voted against cheaper housing, child care, dental care, and help for families.”

“Mr. Speaker, it is the time to invest, and that is what we are doing. We are building big. The Conservatives cannot claim they care about affordability while fighting at every turn. They voted against affordable housing. They voted against child care. They voted against dental care, and they voted against support for families. They cannot have it both ways.”

“Canada has added over 94,000 jobs since September, and our employment rate is higher than the United States. Many more women are working because of our policies. Wages are also growing faster than inflation.”

“Mr. Speaker, this is not business as usual for our economy, so let us stick to the facts. Since September, Canada has created over 94,000 jobs and strong growth right across the country. Canada now has the highest employment rate compared to the United States. This is driven predominantly by women entering the force and joining because of our strong policies. Wages are up by 4.7%, faster than inflation, meaning more Canadians are keeping more of what they earn. That is how we are taking care of Canadians and growing Canada strong.”
