“We are helping Canadians with good ideas like our school food program. The Conservatives just vote against them and offer no help.”

“Mr. Speaker, I would look to Conservative Party members to actually demonstrate genuine sympathy and capacity to come up with ideas that will make a positive difference. The national food strategy that was announced yesterday is tangible. Unlike the Conservatives, as a government we provide good ideas that will make a difference. The Conservatives continue to vote against them, such as the national food program in our schools, which they called “garbage”. We will be there to have the backs of Canadians, contrary to the Conservatives.”

“The world economy is facing hard times because of wars and a trade fight with the United States. Conservatives are not taking these issues seriously. We are focused on trading with more countries and creating good jobs.”

“Mr. Speaker, if Conservatives ever wonder why Canadians do not trust them and elect them as government, it is unserious questions like this, and what we continue to see in this House is great evidence of this. As all Canadians know, we are living in some very challenging times. We are engaged in an unjustified trade war with the United States. There are wars that are going on in the world that have an impact not only on the Canadian economy, but on the economy worldwide. However, we are focused on building our economy by making sure that we are engaged in diversifying our trade. We will continue to do that work to create good-paying jobs for all Canadians.”
