“Young Canadians want more jobs and better opportunities. What is our government's next step to help build that future for them?”

“Mr. Speaker, over the past year, I have had the opportunity to speak with many young Canadians who understand the importance of seizing the opportunities before us to build a better future, one that offers more jobs and opportunities for young people in a stronger, more resilient Canada that is worth fighting for. Could the Minister of Finance inform the House of the next steps in our government’s plan to build that future for young Canadians?”

“I will present our budget on November 5. It is a plan to bring in investment, create jobs, make life more affordable, and make Canada's economy stronger and more independent.”

On November 5, I will present our government’s next budget, a plan to move Canada forward, attract new investment and create more jobs across the country. This budget aims to build a stronger, more independent and more resilient economy, while making life more affordable for Canadians. On November 5, I will present a plan to build Canada strong and ensure that we remain masters in our own house.”

“The Conservatives keep voting against what Manitoba needs. They voted against $19 million for aerospace jobs, help for farmers, and internet access for 10,000 northern residents. They need to start supporting these projects.”

“Mr. Speaker, what I have been hearing from Manitobans is that we are building Canada’s future, but the opposition keeps voting against Manitobans. Conservatives voted against $19 million for aerospace jobs in Winnipeg. They voted against supports to help farmers get products to market. They voted against broadband for 10,000 residents in northern Manitoba. Manitobans deserve leaders who vote for them. The opposition needs to get on board.”

“Mr. Speaker, I am afraid the member will have to change his QP card. In fact, Canada has the strongest fiscal position in the G7. That is the reality. These are the facts. We have the lowest net debt to GDP. We have one of the lowest deficits to GDP. We have a AAA credit rating. Investment is up, trade is up, and employment is up. On this side of the House, we are going to continue to build Canada strong with Canadians across the nation.”

That is six million children who are benefiting with up to $8,100 this year as a result of a policy that our government put in place, that our government is delivering and that the opposition continues to vote against.”
