“Our government worked with Alberta to bring in billions of dollars for pipelines, energy, and data centres. That is how we grow the province and the country.”

“Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the opposition leader was at the Calgary International Airport. Yesterday, I was here with other members of Parliament at the installation of the Governor General. She said our project is a “common project”. The Premier of Alberta said, “the current Prime Minister has worked very constructively with our government to craft an Alberta...MOU”. It has already attracted tens of billions of dollars in investment for new pipelines, natural gas, data centres, electricity and much more. That is how we build the province, and that is how we build this country.”

“The head of the electrical workers union supports our plan for big projects. Our high-speed rail project will create a huge number of jobs for electricians.”

“Mr. Speaker, the Leader of the Opposition should talk to the national president of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, who has systematically applauded our approach to building big projects in this country, including the largest electrification of mobility in the history of this continent, which is a high-speed rail project that will employ more electricians than this guy could meet in 15 years.”

“We believe Canadians can build major projects. Our plan for high-speed rail will bring billions of dollars and 51,000 jobs to our economy, including in Alberta. The Conservatives do not believe Canadians can do this.”

“Mr. Speaker, the core difference between the people on this side of the House and the Leader of the Opposition and the people who read his questions is that we believe Canadians can do it. We believe Canadians can create a project that will add 51,000 jobs to our economy, including thousands of electricians. We believe we can add billions to our national economy with a transformative high-speed rail project. This includes, by the way, one that is going to be proposed in Alberta. We believe in the future of this country. He does not.”

“I will not take advice from the Conservative leader. We are making Canada's economy the strongest in the G7. Even the International Monetary Fund says Canada's finances are in the best shape.”

“Mr. Speaker, I will take no lessons from the Conservative leader. The only job he has had in the past 10 years is being here, in the House. Canadians know that we, on this side of the House, are building a resilient economy, a more prosperous economy, the strongest economy in the G7. Even the International Monetary Fund recently said that Canada is in the strongest position fiscally. On this side of the House, we believe in Canadians. We believe in Canada’s destiny, and we will fight every day to build a more prosperous Canada for all Canadians.”

“The Leader of the Opposition is wrong that the economy is doing poorly. Our government has helped create thousands of new jobs across the country.”

“Mr. Speaker, to hear the Leader of the Opposition talk, it seems like he takes pleasure in the prospect of bad news. The reality is that there is plenty of good news. I am going to give him some. There are 200 new jobs at Tenaris in Sault Ste. Marie. We have just secured more than 300 jobs at Kruger in Trois-Rivières. We have also just secured 240 jobs at Kap Paper in northern Ontario. We have ensured that 400 new jobs will be created at Siemens Canada. The agreement we just signed with Saab and Bombardier for the GlobalEye represents 3,000 new jobs. I could keep going.”

“Canada gained 88,000 new jobs in May, especially for young people and women. Companies are also creating hundreds of new jobs across the country.”

“Mr. Speaker, we have great news. In May, there were 88,000 new jobs, led by jobs for young people. Young people are getting new jobs, and so are women across the country. We have other projects I can cite, and I am convinced that the Leader of the Opposition will rejoice. There are 300 new jobs with Hitachi in Varennes, Quebec. With Alstom, there are new jobs in Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville. There are also new jobs in Vancouver at Providence Health Care, 768 new jobs for that project. At Hanon Systems in Vaughan, there are 300 new jobs. I have dozens of examples like that.”
