“The Conservatives criticize our economy, but our government is spending billions on infrastructure, defence, and job training. I want the minister to explain how this spending is helping Canada's economy.”

“Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives have spent the last week talking down Canada’s economy, industries and workers. Meanwhile, our government is making historic investments to grow the economy and strengthen Canada’s future, from tens of billions of dollars in infrastructure to reaching NATO’s 2% target, and $6 billion for the skilled trades. Can the minister tell Canadians how these investments are helping us respond to economic headwinds and build a more resilient and prosperous economy?”

“Our budget invests heavily in housing, infrastructure, business innovation, and defence. These investments give Canada the second-fastest economic growth in the G7.”

“Mr. Speaker, what a great question from a great member who has great leadership. I have some good news. I know that the Conservatives can’t see good news when it is in front of them, but let me tell them something. In budget 2025, we laid the foundation for growth in this country. We made generational investment in housing, generational investment in infrastructure, generational investment in productivity and innovation, and generational investment in our defence. That is leading us to have the second-fastest growth in the G7. We are going to build Canada strong together.”
