“Our government is helping Canadian workers. We are spending money to train and hire up to 100,000 skilled trades workers. We are also funding 100,000 summer jobs for young people.”

“Mr. Speaker, being in a trade war means that we are all rightly concerned about jobs in Canada. On this side, we want workers across the country to have good incomes and high-paying careers for generations. That is exactly what Canadians need. Unlike the Conservatives, we do not just wail and scream in the House. We are doing the hard work to support workers. We are investing in recruiting, training and hiring up to 100,000 more skilled trades workers, and we have supported Canada summer jobs, which has increased and has offered 100,000 youth jobs across the country. That is how we build Canada strong. That is how we support workers.”

“Conservatives complain, but they have no plan to help workers and they vote against our ideas. Our government is investing billions of dollars to create hundreds of thousands of jobs.”

“Mr. Speaker, as usual, Conservatives in the House complain every day but they do not have any plan to support Canada’s prosperity. They do not have any plan to support Canadian workers and families, and they vote against every single measure we put forward. We are making generational investments in this country. Just take the 15 major projects that have been announced. That is going to be $125 billion of new investment and 60,000 jobs. Just take the defence industrial strategy. That is 125,000 jobs. The Canada summer jobs program is 100,000 jobs. Those are all tangible programs and initiatives that—”

“A trade war threatens our jobs. Our government is spending money on housing, roads, and defence to protect workers and create careers. We are also training 100,000 new skilled trades workers.”

“Mr. Speaker, the trade war is definitely threatening Canadian jobs. We are all aware of that. I do not know why it is a sudden realization for the Conservatives. On this side of the House, we take those threats seriously. That is why we are stepping up to help workers with generational investments in housing, infrastructure, defence, innovation and productivity, which are creating hundreds of thousands of good-paying careers for Canadians across Canada, while at the same time we are helping people access those careers by recruiting, training and hiring up to 100,000 new skilled trades workers. That is how we build the country that we all love.”

“The Conservatives celebrate when Canadians lose their jobs. Our government cares, and we are helping workers. We extended employment insurance for seasonal workers, lowered taxes for workers, and are helping train 100,000 new skilled trades workers.”

“Mr. Speaker, the job numbers come in every month. It seems that the Conservatives rejoice too much when there are job losses in this country. Why are they so jovial and celebratory when they hear that Canadians are losing jobs? On this side of the House, we are empathetic to what Canadians are going through and we are stepping up to support them with real support: extending EI for seasonal workers, increasing tax deductions for workers that they need and helping to recruit, train and hire 100,000 new skilled trades workers. That is real support.”

“Our government is being careful with its money. The International Monetary Fund says Canada has the strongest financial position among G7 nations. We are using that strong position to invest in Canadians.”

“Mr. Speaker, the premise of the member’s question is patently false. This government is exercising fiscal restraint and discipline. We have the strongest fiscal position. Members opposite can say whatever they want, but the International Monetary Fund, one of the experts at analyzing world economies, has said that Canada has the strongest fiscal position in the G7. We are using that fiscal capacity, just as has been recommended by the IMF, to support Canadians by making generational investments that—”

“Our government is working hard to protect jobs. The Prime Minister met with Enertec, a company hurt by unfair American tariffs. The company thanked him for supporting Canadian-made goods, which will help keep their workers employed next year.”

“Mr. Speaker, it is clear that, on this side of the House, we are working hard for jobs. That is why, this week, the Prime Minister met with people from Enertec, a company that is facing difficulties because of the unjustified U.S. tariffs. The company’s CEO, Julie Desrosiers, thanked the Prime Minister for promoting the buy Canadian movement in Canada and for all the innovation they will be able to carry out. They are confident that they can build and have jobs for the next year for Enertec employees.”
