“Canada faces economic challenges from a foreign war and unfair trade attacks, but our economy will still lead the G7. The Conservatives should admit these outside pressures and celebrate Canada's success.”

“Mr. Speaker, we have had a display in question period today where the Conservatives are trying to catch up with my colleague with respect to steel. I note the member’s question over there. Why can the Conservatives not just once stand up and say that there is a war in the Strait of Hormuz or that there is a trade attack that is illegal and unjustified on Canada. Yes, we are facing economic headwinds, and the G7 is going to be led by Canada despite all of that. The Conservatives should stand up and celebrate Canada’s success and its— Some hon. members: Oh, oh!”

“Every time we try to make life more affordable, the Conservatives vote against it. They oppose our cuts to fuel taxes and our benefits for food and children. They complain even when we grow the economy and protect jobs.”

“Mr. Speaker, every time we propose a measure to make life easier and more affordable and to make conditions for Canadians just a little better, whether it is reducing fuel taxes, whether it is a Canada food and essentials benefit or whether it is the Canada child benefit, these Conservatives, led by that finance critic, get up and oppose it.

“The opposition cannot be trusted on affordability. They voted against giving child benefits to low-income families, against a school food program for hungry kids, and against dental care for seniors.”

“Mr. Speaker, let us just think about this for Canadians. That member and that party voted against targeting the Canada child benefit to families that need it the most. They think a family that makes $500,000 should get the same as a single mother who makes $20,000 a year. They voted against a school food program; voted against feeding hungry children.

“We are focusing on making life more affordable for Canadians. We gave families up to $1,900 for groceries and essentials, cut taxes for 22 million people, and paused the tax on gas. The Conservatives voted against the tax cut, and they only have empty words.”

“Mr. Speaker, on this side of the House, we are going to continue to focus on affordability measures for Canadians. The groceries and essentials benefit will put up to $1,900 in the pockets of families. We cut the taxes, and they voted against it, of course, for 22 million Canadians. We paused the federal excise tax on gas. We will continue to focus on and deliver for Canadians. That side can continue with the empty rhetoric.”
