“The member votes against our programs to help people buy food, raise children, and see the dentist. We will not apologize for the Prime Minister traveling to bring back investments and jobs for Canadians.”

“Mr. Speaker, every time we propose something to help the very people the member speaks of, she rises on her leader’s orders and votes against it, such as the groceries and essentials benefit, the Canada child benefit, aid for seniors and aid for dental care. We will not apologize for the Prime Minister’s going to other countries, signing trade deals, bringing back billions in investment and creating jobs and opportunities for Canadians from coast to coast to coast.”

“Our government is helping the economy grow. We have created more jobs per person than the United States. We are building major projects across the country, like high-speed rail, even though the opposition is against them.”

“Mr. Speaker, let me tell the member and her entire bench what success looks like. Success looks like creating twice as many jobs per capita as the United States. Success looks like diversifying our trade. Success looks like Contrecœur. Success looks like high‑speed rail in Ontario and Quebec, which her party is against. Success looks like an MOU with the Province of Alberta. Success looks like economic development from one coast to another. We are going to keep getting success, notwithstanding the opposition of these guys.”

“The opposition only criticizes Canada, but our government is building energy projects across the country.”

“Mr. Speaker, while the opposition talks Canada down, we are building. We are building with $8 billion in Goose Bay. We are building new wind farms in Nova Scotia. We are building new nuclear plants in Ontario. We are building new pipelines in British Columbia and Alberta. All they do is talk us down. We are building.”

“Canada is doing well today, and the provincial premiers are hopeful about our future. The Conservatives should help us build the country instead of criticizing it.”

“Mr. Speaker, I know they want to go back six years and re-fight an election from six years ago. Unfortunately, it is today, which is good for Canada. What we hear is the Premier of Alberta saying she has never been as optimistic about the country. We hear that from all of the premiers. They want to build with the government. Instead of talking us down, why do the Conservatives not get on board and help build this country?”

“Canada's economy and wages are growing, and our government is working to create jobs. The Conservatives say they care about people, but they voted against programs that help Canadians pay for groceries, dental care, and child care.”

“Mr. Speaker, with regard to the economy, forecasts indicate that Canada will have the second-fastest growth among G7 countries. Wages have been rising faster than inflation for 38 months, but we recognize that challenges remain. That is why, on this side of the House, we are working tirelessly to deliver major projects, create jobs and generate wealth across the country. However, when I see the Conservatives come in every day, hand on heart, with all the empathy in the world, when they voted against measures that have helped millions of Canadians—whether it is the Canada groceries and essentials benefit, the Canadian dental care plan, or the Canada child benefit—I want to urge them to take a step back and start walking the talk.”

“Thousands of people in the member's riding get money from our programs for child care, dental care, and groceries. He voted against these programs. I want him to stop giving speeches and start voting for things that help his voters.”

“Mr. Speaker, I do not have their names, but there are 13,586 families in his riding who are getting their share of the $101 million from the Canada child benefit, which he voted against. I do not have their names, but there are 13,500 families who depend on it. I do not have their names, but there are 39,000 people in his riding who benefit from the Canadian dental care plan. I do not have their names, but tens of thousands of his constituents are benefiting from the new Canada groceries and essentials benefit. I urge him to stop making grand speeches in the House and start voting for his people.”
