“The Prime Minister is helping Canadians through hard economic times. He cut taxes for 22 million people, started a school food program, and plans to do more to help families afford food.”

“Mr. Speaker, talking about seriousness, Canadians know we are in the middle of a global economic disruption. Our Prime Minister is a serious person. He is working hard. He already cut taxes for 22 million Canadians. He also launched the national school food program, which helps families with affordability. In addition, he proposed to launch very soon a national food security strategy, which will really help families during this time of crisis.”

“Next Friday, over 36,000 people in the member's riding will get government money for groceries and essentials. That is up to $530 for a couple. This is part of our plan to make life more affordable and grow the economy.”

“Mr. Speaker, in that member’s own riding, next Friday over 36,000 of her constituents are going to receive the groceries and essentials benefit. That is up to a $530 payment for a couple in her riding. That is part of this government’s plan to make life more affordable for Canadians, part of a plan that includes efforts not only to make life more affordable but to grow our economy as well. I hope she asks some of those 36,000 constituents whether they appreciate receiving the groceries and essentials benefit.”

“Our trade relationship with the United States and the world economy are in trouble. We need to work together to protect our future. The Prime Minister is doing that by finding new trade partners, supporting our natural resources, and building ways to sell them.”

“Mr. Speaker, as we know, Canada has been especially dependent on the relationship with the United States. That relationship is experiencing a rupture. The global economy is experiencing a rupture. The result is that, if we are going to be serious about these matters, we must work together to better this country. If they do not want to listen to the Liberals, that is fine; they should listen to Stephen Harper. We must work together to find ways to ensure our future and our children’s future. That is exactly what the Prime Minister is doing. Diversification is a priority. Building this country up, focusing on our resources and focusing on the infrastructure that will get our resources to market—”

“The economy is facing hard times because of unfair trade fees on our goods and wars around the world. Our government has a plan to trade with more countries. We are also investing hundreds of billions of dollars to help create good jobs.”

“Mr. Speaker, Canadians recognize that we are living in some really economically uncertain times. There are unjustified tariffs on Canadian autos, steel, lumber and aluminum, and there is a war going on in the Middle East that is impacting our economy and the global economy. That is why this Prime Minister and this government have a plan. Our plan includes diversifying our trade, making sure that we are engaging with other countries so that we can sell more of our goods and services. That is why we are investing hundreds of billions of dollars into our economy, so that we can keep creating good-paying jobs for Canadians.”
