“Our government stood up for Saskatchewan. Conservative MPs from Saskatchewan did nothing for 10 years, and they did not defend our canola trade deal.”

“Mr. Speaker, I am uncertain where that member has been over the last number of years, but I want to give them one good example of how this government stood up for Saskatchewan when 14 of them sat on their hands for 10 long years. I am talking to the Saskatchewan Conservative MP caucus. Why did you not defend this canola deal? Why did you not stand up—”

“The opposition did not stand up for Saskatchewan or the canola deal that brought billions of dollars to our farmers. They did nothing to help.”

“Mr. Speaker, why did they not stand up for Saskatchewan and the canola deal that brought billions to Saskatchewan producers? Again, they sat on their hands doing nothing.”

“Conservatives do not visit northern Saskatchewan to see our struggles. Every time we try to help with food, benefits, cheaper child care, or school lunches, they vote against it. We will keep standing up for all Canadians.”

“Mr. Speaker, it would be really nice if I saw one Conservative visit northern Saskatchewan to deal with the issues that we are struggling with. Now, I would point out that every time we have an opportunity to help my riding, and many other ridings across this country, whether it is on food and essential benefits, the $10-a-day child care or the food program for the schools, every single time we make initiatives, they vote against them. We will take no lessons on helping any region in Saskatchewan that feels underserved. We will represent all Canadians and stand up for them forever.”

“We sent millions of Canadians money to help pay for their groceries. We know times are hard, and we are working to rebuild our economy.”

“Mr. Speaker, on Friday, June 5, Canadians received the first instalment of the Canada groceries and essentials benefit. Millions of Canadians have received help with their grocery bills. We are very aware of the challenges Canadians are facing. Canadians are courageous, and they will work with us to rebuild our self-sustaining, strong and responsible economy.”

“We are spending $1 billion on food buildings and centres so Canadians can get food more easily. We are also increasing business competition to help people.”

“Mr. Speaker, my colleague’s question gives me the opportunity to discuss an announcement made last week. We are going to invest $1 billion in food infrastructure to make food terminals and hubs more accessible to Canadians. We are also going to improve competition. We are going to do this because it matters. Canadians need support. We are providing that support, and they support us because they, too, want to rebuild our country in a self-sustaining and responsible manner.”

“The member votes against programs that help people in Alberta. Our school food program feeds 58,000 children there and saves parents money, but she voted against it.”

“Mr. Speaker, that member of Parliament has risen before to ask questions like this, but I would ask her a question: Why does she keep voting against the very people in Alberta who are asking for a hand up? In fact, the national school food program in Alberta feeds 58,000 children, and parents are saving up to $13,700 a year per child. These are all things that member has voted against.”

“The member said parents do not want help, but Canadians tell me the opposite. We need to help each other and make sure no child goes hungry.”

“Mr. Speaker, if we check Hansard, we will find that member on record saying that parents do not want help. In fact, what I hear from Canadians, including Albertans, who write to me as the minister of jobs and families, is that we should stand up for each other, that we should make sure not one kid goes hungry, no matter if their parent is out of work, no matter if their family is struggling, because circumstances are unfortunate for families. What is most Canadian is the value of helping each other.”

“Canada has hit its NATO spending target, brought in a lot of foreign investment, and signed 20 trade and defence deals. People in British Columbia like this growth.”

“Mr. Speaker, Canada is represented at the G7 summit today as a country that has hit its 2% NATO target this year, as a country that has attracted foreign direct investment at twice the rate of our nearest G7 countries, and as a country that has secured 20 economic and defence agreements over four continents. British Columbians like to see this growth. This is Canada.”
