“The Bloc Québécois only wants to talk about referendums. We are focused on growing the economy and protecting Canada. Our recent airplane deals will defend the country and create more than 3,000 jobs.”

“Mr. Speaker, I understand that the Bloc Québécois members get up every morning and want nothing more than to talk about the Clarity Act and referendums. On this side of the House, we get up every morning wondering how we are going to create opportunities for Quebeckers, build one Canadian economy and protect Canada’s sovereignty. I will give them an example. Yesterday, we stood with Bombardier to announce the acquisition of GlobalEye aircraft to defend our country’s sovereignty and create more than 3,000 jobs in Canada. This is in addition to the 150 aircraft that were ordered by Airbus about two weeks ago. That is what creating opportunities for Quebeckers looks like. Those are the priorities of Quebeckers. Those are our priorities. I will leave the Bloc Québécois to its questions about referendums.”

“The Bloc Québécois does not understand what people in Quebec care about. Quebeckers care about prices, jobs, job training, and major building projects, not old debates about separation.”

“Mr. Speaker, once again, it is clear that the members of the Bloc Québécois are completely out of touch with what the people of Quebec care about. What Quebeckers care about is affordability, creating good jobs and providing opportunities for our young people. What Quebeckers care about is a workforce training program like the one outlined in the economic update. What Quebeckers care about is major projects like a high-speed rail line connecting Quebec City and Toronto, Nouveau Monde Graphite, the expansion of the port of Montreal in Contrecoeur, and major projects that will build Quebec and provide opportunities for ordinary people. That is what Quebeckers care about, not the questions about the Clarity Act that my colleagues from the Bloc Québécois are raising.”

“We will wait for Quebec voters to decide in their provincial election. Right now, we are focused on helping workers and dealing with American tariffs.”

“Mr. Speaker, our colleague from the Bloc Québécois talks about respect for democracy. We in the government will start by waiting for Quebeckers to have their say in the upcoming provincial election this fall. We understand that the members of the Bloc Québécois are engaging in hypotheticals. They are eagerly awaiting the upcoming provincial election. We are not going to judge these issues. We will continue to focus on issues that affect Quebec families, Quebec workers, and workers across Canada. The American tariff threat and how to support our industries are what we are working on.”
