“Our economy is doing well because of this government's work. Experts predict Canada will have some of the highest growth in the G7. Outside investment is up, wages have grown faster than inflation for over three years, and we just added 88,000 jobs.”

“Mr. Speaker, facts are stubborn things. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development anticipates that Canada will achieve the second-strongest growth of the G7. Over the past year, foreign direct investment in Canada reached twice what it was for our G7 peers. For 38 months, wages have risen faster in Canada than inflation. On top of it all, one especially stubborn fact that displeases the Conservatives is last month’s good news for Canada’s economy with the creation of 88,000 jobs, because Canada’s economy is a lot more resilient. This resilience is due in part to the efforts of this government.”

“The Conservatives cheer when our economy struggles, but our government is working to grow it. We are investing in mining, high-speed rail, ports, and planes, and we helped create 88,000 jobs last month.”

“Mr. Speaker, I understand that the Conservatives are overjoyed whenever we face even the slightest headwind in the Canadian economy. However, on this side of the House, we wake up in the morning and ask ourselves what we can do despite external circumstances, despite the illegal and unjustified tariff war we are facing. What can we do to build Canada’s economy? We are investing in Nouveau Monde Graphite, the biggest graphite mine in the G7. We are investing in high-speed rail between Quebec City and Toronto. We are designating the Port of Québec as an international container port. We are investing in 150 Airbus aircraft, and we created 88,000 jobs last month. That is what we are doing on this side of the House.”

“We have created over 165,000 jobs in Canada since the summer. Compared to our population, we are creating almost twice as many jobs as the United States.”

“Mr. Speaker, since this summer, we have created more than 165,000 jobs here in Canada. In May alone, 88,000 jobs were created. If we look at the United States, for example, we see that Canada is creating jobs. The number of jobs created per capita in Canada is almost double that of the United States. It is great to see that so many Canadians are optimistic and have a positive outlook on the future.”
