Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government is more focused on protecting CEOs, to the harm of workers.
The Prime Minister is more interested in protecting his own job than he is in protecting Canadians against the threat of Donald Trump. The Prime Minister has failed to defend workers from the CEOs who are ripping them off. For the NDP, it is always workers first, not CEOs.
The Prime Minister has failed. Will he quit?
Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada December 17th, 2024
Mr. Speaker, people are right to be angry. They have a Prime Minister who is more interested in protecting his own job than defending Canadians against Trump. We have a Prime Minister who has failed to defend workers from the rich CEOs the Conservatives love and who continue to rip off Canadians and drive up the cost of food and homes. The Prime Minister has failed. For New Democrats, it is always workers first and not CEOs, the CEOs the Conservatives want to defend.
Will the Prime Minister acknowledge he has failed? He has to quit.

Mr. Speaker, that was not an answer, so I will ask again in French.
People are having a hard time buying groceries. They cannot find affordable housing. On top of that, we have the threat of Trump's tariffs jeopardizing hundreds of thousands of Canadian jobs. He should be focusing on the issues that are hitting people hard, but the Prime Minister is more focused on his party's infighting. Clearly, the Prime Minister cannot go on like this. Will he resign today, yes or no?
Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada December 16th, 2024
Mr. Speaker, Canadians literally cannot afford the groceries they need. They cannot afford to find a home to call their own. Now, Trump, the buddy of the MAGA Conservatives love, is threatening hundreds of thousands of jobs in Canada, and the Prime Minister is more focused on himself and on infighting. The Prime Minister cannot remain in that position.
Will he resign?

His job is not safe either, Mr. Speaker.
The Prime Minister does nothing while President-elect Trump thumbs his nose at our country and threatens good Canadian jobs. I have fought against bullies my entire life. We have to be firm and not play their game.
When will the Prime Minister stop displaying weakness?
International Trade December 11th, 2024
Mr. Speaker, Donald Trump is a bully and bullies prey on weakness. When Trump says jump, the Prime Minister asks how high. When Trump trash-talks Canada, the leader of the Conservatives repeats that garbage. When Trump trolls Canada, hundreds and thousands of Canadians worry they might lose their job.
Why will the Prime Minister not fight back and protect Canadian jobs?
Health December 10th, 2024
Mr. Speaker, maybe we should tax the Prime Minister's excuses instead.
It is outrageous. The health care system is collapsing and the Prime Minister stands idly by. Currently, seven times out of 10 François Legault encourages Quebeckers to pay for health care.
Why is this acceptable to the Prime Minister? Why is he abandoning people?
Taxation December 10th, 2024
Mr. Speaker, get this. The Conservatives bring in a tax cut for the richest CEOs and corporations, costing Canadians $60 billion, but they vote against taking the GST off home heating and diapers, and the Prime Minister sided with them.
Why does the Prime Minister side with the Conservatives and big corporations against working people?
The Economy December 9th, 2024
Mr. Speaker, I want seniors to pay attention to the fact that the minister did not answer the question as to why they do not deserve cheques of $250.
Imagine someone else, someone with a disability or someone unable to make ends meet. The Prime Minister does not think this person deserves a helping hand.
Will the Prime Minister finally see the light and include these people on the list of recipients of his $250 cheque?
