“The Conservatives do not want to help Canadians. They voted against dental care for children and seniors. They voted against school lunches for kids. They also voted against child care to help parents work.”

“Mr. Speaker, it is clear that the Conservatives not only do not want to take care of people but also do not understand what an investment is. We are talking about a party that voted against dental care for children and for seniors. The Conservatives are a group of people who voted against supporting kids’ just having a healthy lunch in school. We are talking about a party that voted against child care so parents could get back to work earlier and support their family. The Conservatives prove time and time again that they have no interest in supporting Canadians, and they still do not understand what an investment in Canadians actually means.”

“We cut taxes, build affordable homes, and help families buy food. The Conservatives vote against all these things. They need to stop talking down the economy and support our work.”

“Mr. Speaker, Conservatives pretend to be champions of affordability, but they never get in the fight. Even worse, they vote against every measure to help families. We cut taxes for 22 million Canadians. They are against it. We build affordable homes. They are against it. We introduce the groceries and food essentials that will put $1,900 into the pockets of a family of four. They are against it. We are fighting for jobs and affordability for Canadians. All the Conservatives do is run down the economy in the middle of a trade war. They should get on board and start building.”

“Our government is working to make our economy the strongest in the G7. We cut taxes, helped with grocery costs, and paused the federal gas tax. We are also making trade deals to bring in money and create jobs.”

“Mr. Speaker, one thing our Prime Minister was elected to do was to build an economy that is the strongest in the G7. We are going to build that at home and abroad. At home we have cut taxes for 22 million Canadians, we launched a groceries and essentials benefit and we just paused the excise federal tax on gas. Abroad our Prime Minister and our trade minister are signing deals worldwide for billions of dollars to create thousands of jobs. On this side of the House, we are focused on building the strongest, most resilient economy in the G7.”

“Our building projects are creating thousands of jobs across Canada. These include projects like expanding the port of Montreal, building the Darlington nuclear plant, and LNG Canada.”

“Mr. Speaker, speaking of building, we are building big. The port of Montreal expansion means over 8,000 construction jobs and over 1,000 permanent jobs. The Darlington nuclear plant means 18,000 good‑paying jobs and clean power for generations in Ontario. LNG Canada in B.C. means tens of thousands of jobs in Canadian energy and reaching a new global market. That means cranes on the ground, paycheques in pockets and Canada building big.”

“Canada has the strongest economy in the G7 and the best credit rating in the world. The Conservatives need to learn how to manage money.”

“Mr. Speaker, here is what the central bankers know: Canada has the strongest economy in the G7. We have the highest debt rating of any country in the world. The Conservatives should learn how to balance books.”

“Our government is good at building major energy and mining projects. The Conservatives only know how to complain.”

“Mr. Speaker, I will help the member opposite understand what we are good at. We are good at building. How about the Taylor to Gordondale pipeline? How about the NexGen uranium mine? How about the Foran copper mine? How about the Voisey’s Bay mine? How about the Darlington nuclear reactor? How about the new wind farm in Nova Scotia? We know how to build. The Conservatives know how to complain.”

“Our government is getting results for Saskatchewan after 10 years of nothing. We made a uranium deal with India, we are selling more canola to China, and we are building new mines.”

“Mr. Speaker, I want to point out that, again, from Saskatchewan’s perspective, it has been 10 long years with 14 members. It has been 10 long years, and there is nothing to show for it. We signed the uranium deal with India. Canola sales are improving and moving to China. We are building mines. We are building opportunity. Saskatchewan is finally here in Ottawa.”

“We are spending money to help Canadians with the cost of food and fuel. The Conservatives are wrong to oppose this.”

“Mr. Speaker, it is very odd hearing the Conservatives talk as if somehow we are not talking about Canadians. We are talking about Canadians here. We are talking about their dollars, and we are talking about where they want them invested. We know, loud and clear, that time and time again we have heard from Canadians that they want us to invest in them, and that means things like the groceries and essentials benefit. That means cutting the fuel excise tax. It sounds like they are saying we are putting money into our personal pockets. We are putting money into the pockets of Canadians, and the Conservatives object to that. We really need to make sure they understand how finances work.”

“Canada has the strongest finances and the second fastest growing economy in the G7. We have a plan to save taxpayers 40 billion dollars over the next five years. Much of our spending goes to the military, and we support them.”

“Mr. Speaker, that member may not know that the International Monetary Fund has actually reaffirmed that Canada has the strongest fiscal position in the G7. We actually have the second fastest growing economy in the G7. As it relates to the tough decisions government has taken, we have a comprehensive expenditure review that is going to save taxpayers $40 billion over the next five years. As it relates to spending, part of the large portion of our spending has actually been on the Canadian Armed Forces. I thought the Conservatives used to stand for investing in the men and women of our Canadian Armed Forces. We will stand by them every single day.”
