Thank you, Mr. Leitão.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank my colleagues from the Bloc Québécois and the Conservative Party who are here today.
I think Canadians understand that Canada must move forward. If there is one message to take away today—and this was certainly the Prime Minister's message when he said that we are at a critical moment in history—it is that now is the time for us to work together. I think these words were also echoed recently by former prime minister Stephen Harper.
I invite everyone to rise above politics and truly work in the national interest. At a time like this, we must build our country, protect our sovereignty, ensure Canadians have the services they need, and grow the Canadian economy. For my part, I believe in Canada, and I believe in the potential of Canadians.
The plan we presented in the 2025 budget is a timely plan for growth. It is an investment plan. It is also the kind of measure that will enable families, workers, our seniors and our youth to prosper in uncertain economic times. That said, I believe that each and every one of us believes in Canada's future.
Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you to my colleagues.
