“Events around the world affect families and businesses here. How will the government make our economy stronger as we head toward the next budget?”
Official Hansard

Madam Speaker, we live in a time when global events have local repercussions. As families, businesses and workers in my riding navigate this new world, they are striving to build a better future. Earlier this week, the Minister of Finance announced that the next steps in our plan to build Canada stronger will be unveiled on November 5. As we look forward to budget 2026, can the minister tell the House how we are building a stronger, more resilient economy?

Madam Speaker, I understand the member for Vaudreuil’s passion when he speaks about this budget and the work that the government is doing. He is an outstanding representative for his region, and he understands full well that, through our last budget and the budget we will table on November 5, we will continue building Canada. We are going to equip ourselves to be masters in our own house. Quebeckers understand that. We are going to invest in our future. We are going to invest in affordability. We are going to invest in things that bring Canadian culture to life across the country. I want to thank my colleague for his work. He is an asset to our caucus, and we will continue to work together.
