“We need to spend money on job training and big building projects. This will create jobs for young people and construction workers.”

“Mr. Speaker, let us talk about future generations. My colleague just mentioned the need for workforce training in Quebec and in the rest of the country. We also need to invest in ourselves and in major infrastructure projects. We are going to enable Canadians to benefit from construction and from building a better Canada. We are going to create job opportunities for our young people, job opportunities for the construction trades. We are going to benefit from our workforce and our investments. That is what building Canada is about.”

“Only the Conservatives are unhappy. We are helping young people start careers, buy affordable homes, and build a good future in Quebec and Canada.”

“Mr. Speaker, the only ones who are disappointed are that member, his inner circle and his party. Over here on this side of the House, we are helping young people launch their careers, helping them buy an affordable home and helping them look forward to a better economic future in Quebec and Canada. Over here on this side of the House, we are creating things and managing carefully.”

“Our economy is strong. We have the second-highest economic growth in the G7 and the best financial position. We are helping businesses and workers hurt by the trade war. We are also creating a national fund to invest in our own economy.”

“Mr. Speaker, we are building a strong economy and we have all the data to prove it. We have the second-largest economic growth in the G7. We also have the most enviable fiscal position in the G7. That being the case, what are we doing? We are helping our businesses and workers who are affected by the trade war. We are establishing a sovereign wealth fund to demonstrate economic nationalism, just as Quebeckers did in the 1960s when we decided to take control of our own destiny. That is the vision that inspired us to stand up for ourselves and create prosperity here at home.”

“The Conservatives do not understand the urgency in our economy and would do nothing about the trade war. Our plan is working, and the International Monetary Fund agrees. We are cutting government operating costs while investing in building projects to help our economy grow.”

“Mr. Speaker, I think that my Conservative colleagues do not understand the sense of urgency in the Canadian economy. They would look at the trade war and twiddle their thumbs while standing back and doing absolutely nothing. What we are doing, in essence, is reducing the government’s operational spending. We are making sure that we are spending less while investing in capital projects. We are making sure that we create investments. It is all working, as the IMF has confirmed. We will continue creating prosperity here at home.”

“We want to spend over $6 billion to train more than 100,000 young people in the skilled trades. These workers will build major projects across Canada. I want the opposition to support our plan.”

“Mr. Speaker, in yesterday’s economic update, we proposed investing over $6 billion to recruit and train more than 100,000 young people in the trades. These new workers will help us build a strong Canada and deliver major projects across the country. We are investing in our young people and in our country, and I hope that the members opposite will support the plan that was presented yesterday.”
