Mr. Speaker, Canadians sent us here to tackle the pressing issues they are facing and improve their lives. They want us to strengthen Canada and create a brighter future for our children.
New Democrats are inspired by Jack Layton, who urged us to make Parliament work and to deliver results for people. That is because we believe Canadians deserve a future where everyone can thrive, not just the privileged few. We are ready to roll up our sleeves and work to make that vision a reality.
It is clear that millions of Canadians are struggling right now. Instead of offering solutions, the Liberals are demanding sacrifices from workers while handing out billions to the wealthiest individuals and the most profitable corporations. They are slashing services and cutting thousands of family-sustaining jobs amid a jobs crisis.
New Democrats are ready to offer a different approach, with positive, constructive policies to build a stronger country and a fairer society.
