“We know high costs are hard on Canadians. We are helping by building more homes, giving 12 million families money for groceries, and pausing the fuel tax.”

“Mr. Speaker, we understand that affordability is top of mind for Canadians. That is why we acted on three fronts. First was with respect to affordable housing. I want to thank my colleague, the Minister of Housing and Infrastructure, for a generational plan to provide more affordable housing and more safe housing for Canadians. The second thing is that we introduced the Canada groceries and essentials benefit, helping 12 million families across the country. Lastly, we extended the suspension of the excise fuel tax, which is going to help Canadians across the country. This is how we build a strong Canada.”

“Our programs help millions of Canadians with child care, food, and disability support. The Conservatives voted against every one of them.”

“Mr. Speaker, let me talk about real people. The Canada child benefit, which the Conservatives voted against, is helping six million Canadians. The national school food program, which is helping 400,000 kids in this country, they voted against. Let me talk about the Canada disability benefit. It is helping 465,000 Canadians; they voted against. Let me talk about the Canada groceries and essentials benefit. It is helping 12 million Canadians; they voted against. Let me talk about early learning and child care. It is helping 900,000 kids in this country; they voted against. At every step of the way, when they had the choice to help Canadians, they voted against.”

“Our economy is doing well. We created over 200,000 jobs in the last year, and our debt is low compared to other rich countries. The Conservatives should stop talking down our economy and support our plan.”

“Mr. Speaker, it is shocking to be sitting in the House and hearing the Conservatives talking the economy down at a time when Canadians are united to fight for Canada and to build support in this country. Canada will have the second-fastest growth in the G7 in 2027. We have created more than 200,000 jobs in the last year. We have the lowest net debt to GDP in the G7 and one of the lowest deficits to GDP in the G7. We are building Canada strong. I hope the Conservatives get it, because Canadians are behind us, and we are going to build with them.”

“We are creating tens of thousands of jobs right now across the country. Conservatives should stop posting clips on social media and help us get this work done.”

“Mr. Speaker, let me invite the member opposite on a little tour. How about Mersey River, where we are building today: 200 jobs? How about the intertie between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick: 600 jobs? How about Darlington:18,000 jobs? How about Pickering: 30,000 jobs? Maybe instead of doing little clips on Twitter, the Conservatives should come and help us get some jobs done.”

“We know high prices are a big problem for Canadians, and we are helping. We have a plan to build more affordable housing. We created a grocery benefit that helps 12 million people, including families in every riding. We also extended the federal gas tax break.”

“Mr. Speaker, we are very much aware that the cost of living and affordability are high-priority issues for Canadians across the country. That is why we have already taken action. First, the Minister of Housing and Infrastructure has launched a generational plan to create more affordable and safe housing across the country. Next, we announced the Canada groceries and essentials benefit to help 12 million Canadians. In every riding represented in this House, there are people receiving this benefit, which is designed to help families. Finally, we have extended the federal gas tax break. These are concrete measures—”

“The member complains about the cost of living, but he voted against help for families. He voted against child benefits, dental care, grocery rebates, tax cuts, and school food programs that help thousands of people in his own riding and province.”

“Mr. Speaker, could my colleague explain to Jessy why he voted against the Canada child benefit? In his own riding, that benefit helps 24,000 children, who receive $100 million every year, which is roughly $4,600 per child. He voted against that. Could he explain to Jessy why he voted against dental care for 39,000 people in his own riding? Could he explain why he voted against the Canada groceries and essentials benefit, against a tax cut for 22 million Canadians and against the national school food program, which helps 100,000 children in Quebec by providing roughly $800 per family? It boggles the mind.”
