“The Conservatives have done nothing to help the economy. Even with trade issues and tariffs, our government is doing the work and has created 164 new jobs since September.”

“Mr. Speaker, we will take no lessons from the members opposite on how to grow the economy. They have been here collectively 51,000 days. That is how long the Conservatives from Saskatchewan have sat here and done absolutely nothing to help Saskatchewan or our Canadian economy. We are grappling with tariffs, trade uncertainty and conflicts, but the work will continue. Since September, we have created over 164 new jobs in this Canadian economy.”

“We have created 164,000 jobs since September. Former Liberal MP Ralph Goodale did more for Saskatchewan than all the current Conservative MPs from the province combined.”

“As a correction, Mr. Speaker, we have created 164,000 new jobs since September. The member from Regina mentioned a great leader from Saskatchewan. I will compare Ralph Goodale’s record to the entire Conservative caucus from Saskatchewan any day of the week. I want to point out that he did more in his time as an MP than the entire Conservative caucus. I want to repeat that—”

“Canada's economy is doing better than expected. Our deficit is down, we added 88,000 jobs, people are spending more, and wages are growing faster than inflation.”

“Mr. Speaker, we have seen the Canadian economy prove to be much more resilient than anticipated. We had $11.5 billion less of a deficit. The economy, in the last job numbers, added 88,000 jobs, 800%, exceeding expectations, recovering 80% of job losses due to the trade war with the United States. That is good news for our country, but it is not the only good news. We also had a 1.5% increase in consumer spending. We have wages outpacing inflation in every month this government has been in power. That is good news for Canada.”

“The Conservatives spent 25 hours delaying a bill that helps workers. This bill gives a $6,000 tax deduction to workers who travel for their jobs.”

“Mr. Speaker, if Conservatives are so concerned with supporting Canadians’ affordability and the economy and wanting to keep people employed and supported, why did they spend 25 hours this week filibustering a bill that would support workers across Canada? That bill has tax deductions, the labour mobility tax deduction, which would support workers who travel for work, and would put $6,000 more in those workers’ pockets every single year moving forward. We see job numbers going up, especially in the skilled trades in this country, due to our government—”

“The Conservative leader wasted over $8 million of tax dollars on his official home. The Conservatives should look at their own spending before they question ours.”

“Mr. Speaker, I did not think they would have the guts to ask a question on that basis, given that we just found out the leader of the Conservative Party squandered over $8 million on Stornoway. If we want to talk about accountability in terms of leaders’ expenses, I think those on the other side should look in the mirror, where they will witness a massive abuse of tax dollars by the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada.”
