Mr. Speaker, my friend across the way spoke with great gusto and passion about his good intentions. He said, “We in the government want good things. That is what we want.” I did not come here to debate their intentions, actually. I came here to debate the results. Good intentions are not going to feed or clothe anyone in this country, and the government will be judged by the results. It will be judged by the concrete outcomes.
I spoke about jobs and the 42,000 jobs lost, and the member tried to refer to global events. Again, I made this very clear. The government will always try to play with the timelines, but this was before the escalation in the trade conflict. We had lost 42,000 jobs beforehand.
The government will be judged by the results. The Prime Minister has said that affordability has never been better. Canadians are experiencing it differently, and it is the results that are going to matter for the government.
