“Newfoundland and Labrador is growing. More people have jobs, and the government is spending money on harbours, fisheries, housing, roads, and community centres. The member across the way should support this.”

“Mr. Speaker, I want to remind my opposition colleague from Newfoundland and Labrador that employment numbers are up in our province. I also want to remind her once again of the almost $1 billion for small craft harbours, growing our rural, coastal and indigenous communities that support our fisheries, an essential part of rural Newfoundland and Labrador. There are also supports around housing, road construction, infrastructure, community centres, and on and on this goes. We are actually in a time of growth. I hope the member gets on board.”

“Our job training programs help young people get good jobs in construction. This improves the economy and increases employment. The opposition should work with us instead of using negative slogans.”

“Mr. Speaker, I will once again remind the member opposite that when we get people to work, when we invest in our young Newfoundlanders and Labradorians and Canadians with programs like the apprenticeship program, which walks with them throughout the journey to a Red Seal designation, and when we have construction jobs, it enhances our economy and it raises our employment numbers, which we are now seeing. This is what it takes to build Canada strong. Empty slogans and negative responses are not helpful. I invite the member to work alongside us.”

“Rent has gone down across Canada for 20 months in a row. Our government is spending money on affordable housing, food programs, and money back for groceries and children. We vote to make life cheaper, but the opposition votes against it.”

“Mr. Speaker, we are seeing rents come down across Canada right now. We are seeing 20 straight months of rents declining, which is a positive trend. We are investing in the affordable housing that Canada needs to make sure that Canadians can afford housing. We are investing in discounts and rebates with the groceries and essentials benefit, benefits for children and food programs, across the board. This side of the House votes for affordability. That side of the House votes against it.”

“We are spending 51 billion dollars on community centres, transit, and housing needs. This will make life more affordable and train 100,000 new trades workers. The opposition does not support this.”

“Mr. Speaker, we are making unprecedented investments in Canada’s community infrastructure: $51 billion in the build communities strong fund, which is going into our communities for community centres, for housing-enabling infrastructure and for public transit. These are unprecedented investments to make Canada more affordable and to get jobs on the ground across Canada for our young people, with 100,000 new tradespeople who will be trained, supported by this House again. The other side of the House does not support any of this action. They are just negative. They should get with the program.”

“Our economy faces challenges, including high U.S. tariffs. But our government is creating jobs, and people in British Columbia want us to keep going.”

“Mr. Speaker, British Columbians are talking to me about the fact that they see we are facing headwinds for our economy right now. They see the U.S. charging tariffs that have not been seen since the Great Depression. They see the work that we are doing to invest in labour and to invest in good jobs for individuals, and they see the employment numbers coming up. British Columbians are optimistic, and they want us to continue the work we are doing.”

“The U.S. is raising tariffs to levels not seen since the Great Depression. Canadians want us to find new trade partners and spend money on big projects and workers. I want the other parties to support these investments with us.”

“Mr. Speaker, as I said, British Columbians see that we are facing headwinds caused by geopolitical events and tariffs. The U.S. has fundamentally changed its approach to trade, raising tariffs to levels that have not been seen since the Great Depression. Canadians want to see the steps that we are taking to address this. They want to see the diversification of trade. They want to see us invest in major projects, and they want to see us invest in Canadian workers. Why can our colleagues not join with us to make these investments?”

“The opposition should help us build the economy instead of attacking it. In May, 88,000 new jobs were created. Wages have grown faster than inflation every month since we took office, and rents are down 9%. The Conservatives also oppose the money we put into local companies in Windsor.”

“Mr. Speaker, instead of gleefully running down the economy, which the opposition does every day, those members should help us build it up. They do not like to point out that 88,000 new jobs were created, as said in the May report. They do not like to point out that wages have grown faster than inflation every month since we took office. They do not like to point out that rents are down 9%. In Windsor, when we invest in Central Stampings and when we invest in Unique Tool & Gauge, which we have done, the Conservatives oppose investing in their own communities. They should get with the program and build this country up together.”
