Mr. Speaker, I would really like to thank the member for asking that very thoughtful question, which goes to the heart of what we are trying to do right now in Parliament. It is why I am really reaching out to the members opposite to see if they can help us with this project.
We are just coming out of an election where Canadians were very clear about what they wanted to see and what their concerns are. Let us be clear. Our country is facing unprecedented threats to our sovereignty and our economy from President Trump in the United States with the unjustified tariffs against our industries.
What I heard at the door, and I am sure members in all of the seats in this honoured place heard this, was that Canadians want to see us build a strong, unified country to support our sovereignty and to defend our country. They want to see us build to support this country, show pride in this country and do everything we can for a strong future. That is certainly what I heard at the door and what I continue to hear from Canadians as they reach out.
Canadians want to see exactly what we saw last week, which was the Prime Minister and the premiers sitting down at a table together to see how they could get things done. We are not going to play partisan politics, and we are not going to play to divisions, because we recognize the moment we are in. The moment we are in is that we must build a strong economy. We must build to protect our sovereignty.
At the same time, we need to do that while making sure that we protect our environment, that we keep moving to net zero by 2050, because the other thing I hear is that people care deeply about the future for the next generations. We have an obligation to the next generations, if we are going to say we have a strong, beautiful Canada, to pass on a strong, beautiful Canada to our children and the next generations.
The question was a very appropriate one to get to what Canadians are asking of us. They are asking us to build and to build properly.
