“Our government is using Canada's financial strength to invest in future jobs, higher wages, and economic growth. We have also helped people by cutting taxes, funding school food programs, and helping with the cost of groceries and essentials. We are doing this work to build a stronger Canada and support Canadians.”

“Mr. Speaker, every single day, this government works our hardest to leverage the fiscal strength that Canada has to invest in the things that Canadians need: jobs for the future, wages that outpace inflation, and higher productivity and growth in the economy. While doing that, we have also enhanced our social safety net with things like the groceries and essentials benefit, tax cuts and the national school food program. We continue to do that work every day because we know that is what builds a stronger Canada. Canadians need a government that supports them.”

“We care about making housing affordable. We are working with the provinces to build the infrastructure needed for new homes, which lowers costs for buyers. We also have 19,000 homes being built across the country for renters and buyers.”

“Mr. Speaker, we care deeply about housing affordability, and that is why we are working with the provinces to build infrastructure that allows them to build new homes. That drives down the cost to purchase for new homeowners. However, we are not stopping there. We are working with Build Canada Homes. We have 19,000 units under way across the country, and this is ensuring that whether people rent or buy, there is a home for them.”

“That is not how it works. The Bank of Canada says high prices come from world energy costs. In Alberta, we have 67,000 new jobs this year and record oil, gas, and diesel production. That is how we make life affordable and make Canada strong.”

“Mr. Speaker, of course, that is not how any of that works. If we look at the Bank of Canada’s report, it says the inflation is driven by global energy prices. It is undeniable. However, there is good news in my home province of Alberta. There are 67,000 new jobs since the start of the year. We are seeing record production of oil and gas. We are seeing record diesel production up 16%. That is how we tackle affordability. We are making Alberta strong. We are making Canada strong.”
