“Our economic plan is working. We are selling more goods to countries other than the United States, pay is growing faster than prices, and foreign businesses are investing more here than in other top nations. Also, the Prime Minister answers questions instead of insulting the news.”

“Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister answers questions rather than insulting the media. That is the first point. The second point is that I think it is important to understand that our plan is working. Our non-U.S. exports are on the rise; in fact, they are doubling. The other point is that wages have consistently outpaced inflation. Furthermore, we can see that Canada is the most attractive destination in the G7 for foreign investment. It is clear that our plan is working.”

“Canada faces global challenges, but our economic plan is working. We are investing in defence, industry, and major projects. The Leader of the Opposition should present his own plan instead of celebrating hard times.”

“Mr. Speaker, we have a plan, but we are also facing headwinds. It is clear that with the tariff threats, wars in the Middle East and wars in Europe, Canada is facing headwinds, but we have a plan. Our plan is working. We have a defence plan to spend money here. We have a plan for industry and, indeed, businesses are purchasing more equipment and materials. We have a plan for major projects. The real question is why does the Leader of the Opposition seem so happy to gloat over the fact that Canada is facing headwinds? Why is he not presenting his own plan?”

“Canada's economy is strong, even with foreign tariffs and wars. We are building nuclear power, power lines, ports, and roads. The Conservatives should stop talking down our country.”

“Mr. Speaker, all Canadians, except for the Leader of the Opposition, understand that we have the most integrated economy with the Americans in the world. They understand our economy continues to show resilience in the face of illegal and unjustified tariffs. They understand we are facing two global economy-destroying wars. Canadians want us to work to build, not to talk down, Canada. That is why we are building nuclear. That is why we are building transmission. That is why we are building ports. That is why we are building roads. We can keep going. They should stop talking us down.”

“The Leader of the Opposition does not have a real plan for the country. His only past idea was telling people to buy cryptocurrency. He should stop talking Canada down and share a plan that helps us move forward.”

“Mr. Speaker, the Leader of the Opposition has some kind of phony and artificial narrative. I do not know where he is drawing this from. He picks up pieces of information. He tries to weave them together. What is interesting is that he has no plan. He has nothing to say. The last time he had a plan, he told Canadians to go invest in cryptocurrency. For God’s sake, let us take a look at where that is at. Why does the Leader of the Opposition not get up and give us a real plan, and instead of running down this incredible country, build this country forward and build it up?”

“Canadians want to build big projects like wind power, mines, and ports. The Conservatives keep criticizing these opportunities. We support Canadian workers, and we are building these things together.”

“Mr. Speaker, do members know what Canadians are excited about? Canadians are excited about building up this country, building Canada strong. Whether it is things like a new NORAD base, a new wind project, mining projects in my neck of the woods in northern Ontario, new ports, or new opportunities for people to participate in the skilled trades, the Conservatives talk down every opportunity Canadians have. Canadian workers are tired of being undermined in the House. They know we have their back. They know we are building big, and they are going to do it with us.”

“Our economy is growing quickly. Canada sells more goods abroad, brings in global investment, and helps businesses secure billion-dollar deals. We are also building major projects across the country.”

“Mr. Speaker, last year, Canadian exports to non-U.S. markets grew by more than 17%. Canada has the fastest-growing economy in the G7, this year and next. In the first four months of this year alone, we secured more than $10 billion in commercial deals for Canadian businesses. Speaking of infrastructure investments, there is Ksi Lisims, Mackenzie Valley Highway and Contrecoeur. Canada was ranked the world’s most attractive destination for foreign direct investment. There is a reason: We are building Canada— Some hon. members: Oh, oh!”
