Mr. Speaker, if that leader, that member and that party actually cared about making life more affordable for Canadians, they would not have voted against automatic federal benefits, which would get 5.5 million Canadians benefits that otherwise would be left unclaimed. These are benefits such as the Canada child benefit, the disability tax credit and the Canada workers' benefit.

The only thing that leader cares about is keeping his job, keeping his dismal poll numbers and quashing a caucus revolt. We care about Canadians, and we will deliver for Canadians.

Mr. Speaker, Canadians are not buying what the Conservative leader and his party are selling. In fact, 70% of Canadians have no confidence in him to lead. Last week, we passed a historic budget by Canadians and for Canadians, so we will never be reliant on one country again.

It is time for that member to put down the talking points and get on board with us; let us build Canada.

[Finance, November 21st, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, this week we passed a historic budget, a budget to build Canada and to build our economy the strongest in the G7.

Every member of the House knows that trade relationships across the world have changed. Our relationship with the U.S. has been fractured. Our Prime Minister is doing the right thing by travelling around the world to build up trade relationships.

On this side of the House, we are serious about building the strongest economy in the G7. The party opposite continues with its crazy line of questions.

[Finance, November 21st, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, the member should actually read the report before citing it when he gets up in the House. According to the Parliamentary Budget Officer's report, “current fiscal policy in Budget 2025 would be deemed sustainable over the long term.”

We have the best credit rating in the world. We have the best net debt-to-GDP in the G7. We are going to use that fiscal firepower to build the strongest economy in the G7.

[International Trade, November 21st, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, this may come as a surprise to a party whose leader has never had a job outside the House, but one actually has to travel the global economy to build relationships to bring investment back to this country.

Our side is focused on building the strongest economy in the G7; the other side continues with the bizarre line of questioning about the Prime Minister's travel. Our Prime Minister is focused on building our country, retooling our economy and making our economy the pride of the G7.

[Finance, November 20th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, on April 28, Canadians had a choice to make between two visions for the country. One was a vision of slogans and divisiveness. On this side, our Prime Minister, with world-class business and economic experience, had a plan to build our country, to invest in our country and to build a country by Canadians and for Canadians.

On this side of the House, we are serious about building a stronger Canada, a Canada for everyone. That side is not.

[Finance, November 20th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, on one side of the House, we have continued tired old rhetoric, the same questions that question a Prime Minister with world-class business and economic experience, versus a leader from the Conservatives who has been in the House for 20 years and has not had a job outside the House.

On this side of the House, we are focused on building a strong economy. We are focused on making historic investments in infrastructure, defence, housing and transportation. On this side, we are serious about the economy. They continue with the same old, tired rhetoric.

[The Economy, November 19th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, the buy Canadian policy outlined in budget 2025 will leverage every public dollar to strengthen Canada's economy and create jobs. Do not take my word for it. Ask the members for Chicoutimi—Le Fjord, Jonquière and Lac-Saint-Jean. They all joined our government in announcing and applauding this policy last week, only to vote against it a few days later.

Canadians notice that while that side of the House is putting partisan politics above results, we are building the strongest economy in the G7.

[Finance, November 19th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, in the last election, NDP supporters, Green supporters and so many progressive Conservatives stood with us to form a new party to form a bold vision for this country. We went from coast to coast to coast. We listened to Canadians. We came forth with a transformational budget that will build our economy into the strongest economy in the G7.

It is time for the members opposite to stop the rhetoric, stop the slogans, stand with us and build a strong economy.

[Finance, November 19th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, trusting advice from the Conservative leader on this budget is like trusting a forecast by a weatherman who lives inside a snow globe.

On this side of the House, we are standing with Canada. People from Carleton knew it, progressive Conservative leaders knew it and Canadians knew it. It is time for the Conservatives to get real about the budget and support us in building the strongest economy in the G7.
