“We have cut taxes, not raised them. We also protected benefits and added money to help families buy groceries. We are making it easier to file taxes so people can get this help.”

“Mr. Speaker, the member said “more taxes”. This government has only reduced taxes. We have cut, capped and suspended many taxes and we have enhanced tax deductions for millions of Canadian families, workers and businesses. We have also protected federal benefits that Canadians rely on and added new benefits like the groceries and essentials benefit, which will help families with about $1,900 this year to help with the cost of groceries. We are also making it easier for Canadians to file their taxes so they can access those benefits through automated tax filing. That shows a clear commitment to addressing—”

“Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives talk about jobs, but in reality, they do not want us to do anything. Listen to what the Conservatives say. Their policies, in one word, suck. Let me tell members something.

“We are spending money to support workers, harbours, sports, and people with disabilities. We are doing this responsibly. We lowered our deficit by $11 billion and have the best financial position in the G7.”

“Mr. Speaker, whether it is investing in skilled trades workers, small craft harbours or sports from playground to podium, or improving access to the disability tax credit, we are building Canada strong. That is a Canada not just for a few Canadians, but for all Canadians. We are doing that in a fiscally responsible manner. We have $11 billion less of a deficit. We have a AAA credit rating.

“Our economy is strong. We have low debt, record exports, and high foreign investment. Our plan is working, and I want the opposition to support our investments to create jobs for young Canadians.”

“Mr. Speaker, we have the lowest debt-to-GDP ratio in the G7. We have the highest foreign direct investment in this country in 18 years, at almost $100 billion. We have the highest exports on record, including a 31% increase in exports to Europe. These are signs of our resilience and the strength of our economy. Our plan is starting to work, despite the trade action that is being launched. We really seek the other side’s support in getting on board with these investments that can create jobs for young Canadians.”
