Mr. Speaker, what we are promising is the largest infrastructure investment in Canadian history. This would create thousands of good jobs in the skilled trades, but do not take my word for it. Canadian Ironworkers said, “when Canada builds, Canadians work”. LiUNA Western Canada said this budget would create “thousands of great paying Union jobs right across Western Canada”. The International Union of Operating Engineers said this budget's nation-building project represents “an important opportunity for workers across Canada.” The Carpenters Regional Council said billions in infrastructure and housing investments have “the potential to create tens of thousands of good paying...jobs.”
Why would the Conservatives vote against it?
