“We lowered the deficit by $11 billion and lead the G7 in our finances. We are investing in infrastructure. This update will pay for more job training and apprenticeships, and help more young people, Indigenous people, and diverse workers get into the trades.”

“Mr. Speaker, Canada’s new government is fiscally responsible. We have reduced the deficit by $11 billion. We are in the strongest fiscal position in the G7. We are making major infrastructure investments that will transform and connect our economy. Our workers know this. Let us hear from our workers. Let us hear from the UA in the member’s riding. This update would deliver investments to expand training and for a multitude of apprenticeship needs. It would increase youth, indigenous and diverse participation in the trades for upcoming projects of national interest. That is how we build a Canada strong for all.”

“We are managing the country's money well, and we lowered the deficit by $11 billion. The Conservatives say they support Canadians, but they vote against tax relief, child care, dental care, and food for students. I want the Conservatives to list which programs they plan to cut.”

“Mr. Speaker, again, this new government is fiscally responsible. We reduced the deficit by $11 billion and we are in the strongest fiscal position in the G7. The Conservatives cannot stand up and say they support Canadians while voting against all the supports that Canadians rely on, including youth. The Conservatives oppose tax relief. They oppose child care. They oppose dental care and the national school food program. Who could be against that? The Conservatives cannot oppose all of those programs and then claim they support them. They cannot have it both ways. When will they table a list of inflationary spending items they are going to cut?”

“I want the opposition to vote for our economic update. It spends $6 billion to train young people to build homes and infrastructure.”

“Mr. Speaker, I had the honour of being at the BCIT, the B.C. Institute of Technology, earlier this week to talk about 100,000 jobs for young Canadians to build homes and infrastructure. The members opposite have an opportunity to support the spring economic update, which would dedicate $6 billion to training young Canadians to be part of our economy and to build the affordable housing that we need to house young Canadians. It is a great opportunity for us to build Canada strong.”

“The member from Oshawa complains about youth jobs, but she voted against government funding that is creating thousands of skilled trades jobs at the Darlington nuclear project.”

“Mr. Speaker, I understand the member opposite’s concern for our youth, and I empathize with our youth. What I cannot understand is this. The member from Oshawa can go visit Ontario Power Generation and see the jobs that are being created in our region with the new nuclear project at Darlington. That is 21,700 jobs and a $2 billion investment through the government’s efforts that she voted against. How can that member stand here and lecture us about youth jobs in our region and in our country yet vote against the very supports that are creating good, skilled trades jobs across our region?”

“Our plan creates jobs and supports tech companies like AMD, which brought thousands of jobs to York Region. Our support for universities and technology also helps all recent computer science graduates from the University of Toronto find work.”

“Mr. Speaker, our plan is investing in jobs and is supporting those private sector innovators that are bringing jobs, including to places like York Region in the member’s region, where AMD has a major facility and is centralizing its innovation supports in York Region, in Markham, bringing thousands of jobs. I recently visited the University of Toronto’s Master of Science in applied computing program, and every single one of its graduates now has a job in that program. It is because of the work our government is doing in supporting the post-secondary system, and supporting not only the industrial side but the technology side. We are very proud of our record.”

“Experts agree our government manages money well. Conservatives want to cut help for child care, child benefits, and school food. We believe the government should keep these programs to help Canadians.”

“Mr. Speaker, the International Monetary Fund has affirmed, as we know, the sound fiscal framework that the government has embraced. That is also true of the key rating agencies. My colleagues keep talking about a credit card. Yes, there are Canadians, young Canadians included, who do have credit card debt. Conservatives want to make it worse by forcing Canadians to not receive the Canada child benefit, to not receive support for child care and to not receive support for the school food program. Conservatives want Canadians to pay for these. In this country, we believe that government has a role in fundamentally making sure that Canadians have a chance. That is exactly what these programs do.”

“The Conservatives should not vote against our child care program. It saves families money and helps women work and earn more.”

“Mr. Speaker, here is a big idea: Do not vote against child care that is saving families in Saskatchewan thousands of dollars a month per child, one of the most effective measures to make sure that young families get ahead, that women can participate in the workforce, that women’s productivity and wages grow along with their career and that CPP enhancements are there for women at the end of their career. Instead of their big ideas, maybe the Conservatives should stop voting against the big ideas that Canadians have fought so hard for.”
