Hon. John Zerucelli

“I want to cheer for the government's spending on skilled trades because it will build things like houses. The Conservatives should cheer for it too.”

“The Conservatives spent a lot of money too. Never mind what my party spends. We have a fight with other countries. We are building big projects. We spent a lot of money on this and that. Look at the big numbers. Look at all the jobs. I want the Conservatives to look bad.”

“I have nothing to say about the economy struggling. Look over here at these shiny spending projects instead! Spending is always good, right?”

“The economy has problems. I know that. But we have a plan to fix it! Our plan will create lots of jobs all across the country. Then everything will be better.”

“Look at all the big projects we're building! Lots of investment and jobs! We have a plan, even if there are some trade challenges. I want you to think we're handling the economy well.”

“You voted against the dental benefit. Some seniors get that. I am calling you a hypocrite.”

“I'm filling time listing a bunch of expensive things we're building. The other guy voted against them. I didn't actually say how any of it helps Windsor families who are struggling with high gas prices.”

“I want to talk about all the ways our government is spending money on youth. We're spending $6 billion on a program to get young people into skilled trades. We're also spending a lot of money on sports for kids. The government is doing a lot for young people and we should get credit for that.”

“That's not true. Canada is in the best fiscal position in the G7. Conservatives don't care about workers. Our announcement supports apprentices and union training. This investment helps deliver infrastructure. We need a strong workforce.”

“I don't want to talk about our debt and spending. I just want to distract you with a glowing review I found that praises how much we're spending on training programs. Look everyone, we spent money! We must be doing a good job!”

“The Conservatives say they support Canadians, but they vote against giving them money for programs and tax relief I want. That's not really support. They can't have it both ways.”

“That other party can't care about normal people's problems. They don't want the government to spend money on programs for sick kids, parents, and houses. That's bad. We will spend money instead. We are going to spend money.”
