Madam Speaker, coming out of the last federal election just months ago, the Prime Minister made his intentions very clear, and they were to invest in Canada, to invest in Canadians and to make Canada strong, ideally building a country that will be the strongest in the G7. That has been very clear and is reflected in this budget.
We are also trying to grow the economy through trade, whether it is building one Canadian economy or doing a great deal of work with all the premiers, indigenous leaders, territories and so forth. We are also advancing our trade exports beyond the United States. We see a Prime Minister who has proactively travelled to India and the Philippines to ensure that we can expand trade agreements.
Why does the member opposite not understand the overwhelming commitment to build a strong, healthy Canadian economy? Why does he not get behind it and support it?
