Mr. Speaker, every now and then, the Conservative leader reminds us all that he would not have been there to help Canadians through the depths of the pandemic. He would not have been there to support families or small businesses, or to get our economy rolling again.
He was part of the Stephen Harper government that let the 2008 recession linger for nine years before we recovered jobs, yet this deeper recession took two years to bounce back to full employment. We are going to continue to be there for Canadians to support them, while he is proposing cuts and less support for Canadians when they need it most.
