Madam Speaker, I find it interesting that the Liberal government always compares itself with the worst student in the class rather than with countries that are doing far better. It is very easy for the member to compare us with the United States, which has had terrible results with the spread of COVID. I would rather that Canada strive to be the best. It is also why we are down in the twenties in terms of vaccinations per capita.
The government always seems to want to compare itself with the worst. The Conservatives will always strive to make sure that Canada is compared with and exceeding the best, because that should be the approach we take to everything.
While we have worked with the government to mitigate the unemployment caused by this crisis, the largest part of our high unemployment rate was caused by a slow and confused wage subsidy that we told the government was insufficient the moment it was announced.
On Keystone XL, the Prime Minister has mailed it in twice on this project and killing thousands of jobs in our country at a time when every job is critical to securing our future.
We need to stop dividing Canadians based on where they live or what industry they work in. We need to pull together, get this country back on its feet, dust it off, get pipelines built and get the country moving. It is about time the member started speaking up and telling his Prime Minister to stop dividing Canadians based on where they live or work.
