“Our economy is doing well. We have big building projects, thousands of new jobs, and wages are growing fast. Conservatives are ignoring these facts.”

“Mr. Speaker, Vancouver Islanders in the member’s riding and mine deserve facts. Labelling the economy without context does not help workers or businesses. There are 22 nation-building projects driving over $125 billion in capital investment. There were 88,000 new jobs in May, exceeding market expectations. Wages are growing almost twice as fast as in the United States. Disposable income rose 2.3%. Household savings are above historic norms. These are the facts, but I have never met a Conservative who did not let the facts get in the way.”

“Our government is helping young people. Most of the new jobs are going to them, business investment is up, and experts say Canada's economy will grow faster than other rich countries in 2026 and 2027.”

“Mr. Speaker, young people know that this government is there for them. They know that because they have a majority of the new jobs that are being created. They also know that business investment has increased for the second consecutive quarter in Canada. They know that the IMF projects Canada will be the fastest-growing economy in the G7 in 2026-27. They know that this government has a plan that we are executing that has their backs for a good future.

“The Conservatives only talk down our economy. They ignore good news like 88,000 new jobs, higher exports, and a growing trade surplus. Our government is supporting workers and building the country, and the Conservatives should do the same.”

“Mr. Speaker, every single day the opposition plays the same song, gleefully running down our economy instead of building it up, instead of pointing out the 88,000 new jobs created in the May report, that the trade surplus is up 55%, the highest in 15 months, and that total exports reached a record high. That is not leadership. We are building this country. We are investing in this country. We are supporting our workers. The Conservatives should give it a try.”

“The Conservatives do not care about workers or investments. They vote against dental care, affordable housing, and money for businesses in their own communities. They should support these investments instead.”

“Mr. Speaker, it would be a little more plausible that the opposition party cared about workers and cared about investment if it did not oppose every investment and every support for workers and for families. The Conservatives oppose dental care. They oppose affordable housing. They oppose investment in their own communities. We invest in Laval Tool and Mould, and they oppose. We invest in Jahn Engineering, and they oppose. We invest in Post Packaging, and they oppose. Instead of opposing support, boosts and investment, they should get on board and start building.”

“The economy in British Columbia is improving. New projects are coming, rents are going down, and life is becoming more affordable. We are taking action to help Canadians, but the opposition has voted against these benefits.”

“Mr. Speaker, as a British Columbian like the member opposite, I will say that people in B.C. are optimistic about our future, like we are on this side of the House. We see major projects coming to B.C. that are going to boost our economy in B.C. We see rents coming down. We see affordability coming back to the table. We see benefits to British Columbians that the other side of the House has opposed every step of the way, whether to our youth or to our young workers. We are interested in taking action right across the country to support Canadians, grow the economy and deliver affordability, not being stuck in the mud.”

“Our government is investing billions of dollars in Labrador, small harbours, and job training for young people. I want the opposition to stop arguing and support this work.”

“Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to talk about the $8‑billion investment in 5 Wing Goose Bay in Labrador, in my province. I will also take the opportunity to talk about the almost $1 billion in small craft harbours and the funding available to help our young people train in Red Seal industries. We are building this country, we are investing in Canadians, and we are protecting Canadians. I invite the member to stop the nonsense and join us.”

“Our government is helping people with the cost of living. We are giving money for groceries to 12 million Canadians. We also have 10-dollar-a-day child care, money for families with kids, free food at schools, and more affordable housing.”

“Mr. Speaker, I am proud to stand here today and share with Canadians that 12 million Canadians will benefit from the groceries and essentials benefit. I am proud to talk about the benefits associated with $10‑a‑day child care, which allows families to be able to go into the workplace and know their kids are well cared for. I am proud to stand here and talk about the Canada child benefit. I am proud to stand here and talk about the benefits of the school nutrition program. I will talk about the housing initiative, affordable housing for people who need it the most, and on and on it goes. This is where—”
