“Our budget helps Manitobans get jobs. We are spending money on transportation, community buildings, and job training to make life more affordable. The opposition should support this.”

“Mr. Speaker, what Manitobans want, especially young people, is a job. They want opportunity, and that is what the government is delivering. The spring budget delivers real momentum for Manitobans. We are seeing infrastructure investments that keep the province moving in the right direction, from transportation upgrades to community facilities. We are expanding Red Seal training. The member opposite continues to deny what we are delivering on. They need to get on the side that we are on, which is delivering on affordability.”

“We are spending money to help people in Manitoba get good jobs. We are supporting the aerospace industry, the economy, and putting $6 billion into the trades for young people.”

“Mr. Speaker, we are investing so Manitobans can step into good jobs. What is she not seeing here? We are strengthening Manitoba’s aerospace sector. We are advancing the economic wealth fund. We are investing $6 billion in the trades so young people can get jobs. The member opposite continues to downplay this work when these measures are directly supporting Manitobans.”

“The head of Shell said Canada is a great place to invest in energy right now. They are excited about liquefied natural gas and the jobs it will bring. The Conservatives are ignoring that.”

“Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives read only half the newspaper, obviously. If they had read the other half, they would have seen the CEO of Shell say that it has never been as attractive a time to invest in the energy sector of this country. They would have said that they are excited about the development of LNG in this country and that they are excited about the jobs that are going to be created. They should read the rest of the paper.”

“Canada has one of the strongest economies in the G7. We are spending money on skilled trades, sports, cheaper housing loans, and grocery support. I want the Conservatives to support our plans.”

“Mr. Speaker, it is clear that Canada has one of the strongest positions fiscally in the G7. In addition to maintaining and growing that position, we are also delivering for Canadians: $6 billion for investing in the skilled trades; more than $700 million for athletics in this country, from playground to podium; building Canada’s homes by providing low-cost financing; and ensuring that there is a groceries and essentials benefit. We ask the Conservatives rationally to get on board.”

“Canada has the lowest debt among the G7 nations, and we just cut our deficit by $11 billion. The Conservatives keep voting against our programs that help Canadians pay for dental care, medicine, food, and housing.”

“Mr. Speaker, Canada has the lowest debt-to-GDP ratio in the G7. At the same time, in direct response to my colleague’s question, we have reduced the deficit by $11 billion, as announced yesterday. One thing the Conservatives have failed to do is to vote for Canadians, vote for dental care, vote for pharmacare, vote for the groceries and essentials benefit, vote for housing and vote for supporting school food lunch programs on a permanent basis. I ask them to get—”

“Our economy is strong under our government. Our deficit is down by $11 billion, we are creating more jobs and bringing in more foreign investment than the U.S., and we have the lowest tax rates in the G7.”

“Mr. Speaker, I know it is a lot to ask, but the Conservatives could finally give up their infatuation with our former prime minister and just face reality for once. Canada is strong and resilient, and only getting more so under this government’s leadership. The evidence is in, in the spring economic update: $11 billion less in deficit, and a fiscal track with a declining deficit-to-GDP. Operating expenses are being managed responsibly. Canada has triple the job creation and double the foreign direct investment per capita of U.S. counterparts. We have the most competitive tax rate in the G7 and the strongest fiscal position.”
