Mr. Speaker, honourable members, fellow Canadians, when I rose in this House to deliver budget 2025, I presented an ambitious plan to navigate current challenges and harness Canada's many strengths to position our country for success for decades to come.
The changes we are witnessing are sudden and unprecedented. From geopolitical shifts to supply chain disruptions to rapid technological breakthroughs, including in artificial intelligence, the world is changing quickly and Canada must adapt to thrive.
That is why the Prime Minister called on Canadians to seize the opportunity and build at a speed and scale not seen in generations, to build Canada strong, to build sustainably and responsibly and to build a Canada for all, because we believe in Canada.
In budget 2025, we made generational investments to build communities, to empower Canadians and to protect our country. Now the journey must continue. We do this by drawing on Canada's unique strengths and capabilities. We have the most educated workforce, something we should all be proud of.
