“Today is the national day of mourning for workers killed or hurt on the job. We are also investing in skilled trades, large projects, and community buildings, and labour leaders support this.”

“Mr. Speaker, I want to take a moment to acknowledge that it is a national day of mourning for workers who have lost their lives or become injured at work. I know all of the members in this House are thinking about their families, communities and colleagues today. I also want to speak about the investment that we have been making in skilled trades, major projects and community infrastructure across the country, in fact, so much so that we are getting the support of people who I think the members opposite know. We hear from people like Joe Mancinelli from LiUNA, who says that the true economic strength begins with those who build it, and Marc Arsenault from the Provincial Building and Construction Trades Council of Ontario, who says that they are pleased to see the federal government’s—”

“Workers want us to invest in job training and support their work. We are giving money to unions to train skilled trades workers to build projects across Canada. The Conservatives keep voting against this help.”

“Mr. Speaker, I speak with workers across this country, as all members of this House do, and what I hear them say is that they want us to invest in their success. They want us to invest in the great jobs of today and tomorrow. We want to make sure that they can access skills training through things like the union training investment that we have been providing to unions, ensuring that we can attract and retain skilled trades workers to build the major projects and local infrastructure all across this country. The Conservatives voted against these measures time and again. They keep voting against workers. Is this a pattern? Are we going to see them continue to vote against the very people out there building up our country?”

“That member votes against our programs that help people in Ontario save money. We cut child care costs by $10,000 per child, gave kids almost 100 million school meals, and gave income support to over 300,000 people.”

“Mr. Speaker, when it comes to affordability, that member voted against every measure we have put forward for Ontarians. Here are the facts. Parents are saving $10,000 per child for affordable child care; kids have received 99.8 million meals through a national school food program, and by the way, we are making it permanent; and we have delivered income support for over 300,000 Ontarians. These are the types of support that member opposite always votes against. I do not know why she does, because we build Canada strong by making sure we are making it in a way that is also affordable for Canadians.”

“We know families are having a hard time with costs. Our government is helping them save 10 cents a litre on gas, up to $10,000 on child care, and an average of $1,900 a year for groceries and essentials.”

“Mr. Speaker, we recognize that families are still having challenges. Families are now going to the pumps. They are saving 10¢ per litre thanks to our government. We are also ensuring that when they are buying groceries and essentials, through the Canada groceries and essentials benefit they are receiving an average of $1,900 per year to ensure that we can help Canadians. They are also going to save up to $10,000 on child care. We are doing everything we can to make life more affordable while also investing in Canadians, providing more jobs and, of course, building our strong country.”

“The opposition says they care about making life cheaper. But they voted against lower taxes for 22 million people, cheaper groceries, and 10-dollar-a-day child care.”

“Mr. Speaker, the opposition members claim they care about affordability, but they voted against a tax cut for 22 million people. They voted against the groceries and essentials benefit. They voted against $10-a-day day care. I could keep going. We have nothing to learn from them about affordability.”

“Our economy is one of the strongest among rich nations. We have a plan to invest more in Canada and keep growing. The opposition should help us.”

“Mr. Speaker, on this side of the House, we are going to build the strongest economy in the G7. We have the best fiscal position in the G7 and second-fastest growing economy in the G7, ahead of Italy and Germany. Just yesterday, our Prime Minister announced the sovereign wealth fund, which will spark massive investment by Canadians in Canada. In an hour and a half, our finance minister is going to table the spring economic update to continue our historic growth. It is time for that side to get off the sidelines and help us build Canada strong.”

“I want the member to tell people in her riding what programs she plans to cut. Thousands of people in Cambridge rely on our dental care and child benefit programs, and she wants to end them.”

“Mr. Speaker, why will the member not be honest with her constituents and tell them exactly what she is willing to cut in order to achieve her very irresponsible plans? We can start with dental care. In Cambridge, we have 11,355 members of that community accessing the Canadian dental care plan. That is 11,355 people who visited a dentist and had an opportunity to get their teeth fixed last year. What about the Canada child benefit? In Cambridge alone, 19,621 kids are having a better life and a better start because of the Canada child benefit. Those are programs she is willing to cut for her reckless agenda.”
