Mr. Speaker, I do not know where the member opposite has been, but for the last four months, we have been crossing the country listening to Canadians and getting feedback from Canadians.

On November 4, we will table a discipline budget that will spend less and invest more in Canada. We will build Canada's economy. We will become the strongest, most resilient economy in the G7.

I ask the Conservative Party to cut the rhetoric and get on board.

[Finance, October 8th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, one cannot make this up. This is coming from a leader who has never had a job outside the House and who could not even negotiate with the member for Carleton to keep his seat.

The world has changed, and we are going to change how we budget. On November 4, we are going to come forward with a discipline budget that is going to build. We are going to build and to invest in Canada.

I ask the leader opposite to negotiate his way to finding a way to support us.

[Infrastructure, October 7th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, the party opposite and its leader might have missed it because they were busy trying to get him re-elected, but our global economy has fundamentally changed. Canada needs to respond. That is why we are moving with a disciplined budget this fall to give provinces, municipalities, cities and businesses time for nation-building projects. It is so they can get ready for construction in the spring. Even the Parliamentary Budget Officer agrees with this move.

It is time for the Conservative leader to get on board, stop the rhetoric and help build Canada.

[International Trade, October 7th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, as we on this side go door to door, what we are hearing back from Canadians is crystal clear. Canadians chose. They compared a leader with world class experience to a leader who has never had a job outside the House of Commons.

We stand with our Prime Minister. Canadians stand with our Prime Minister. We are going to build the strongest, most resilient economy in the G7 and make it an economy that Canadians can be proud of.

[International Trade, October 7th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, while the Conservative leader was busy this summer trying to get back the only job he has ever had, we criss-crossed the country, listening to Canadians. We got feedback from Canadians. On November 4, we are going to table a disciplined budget that is going to spend less, invest more and create thousands and thousands of good-paying jobs. This is what a government that is going to build Canada strong looks like.

[Canada-U.S. Relations, October 7th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, when Canadians compared leaders, they had a choice between a world-class leader with world-class economic business experience versus a leader with none. On November 4, we are going to table a disciplined budget that is going to create jobs.

If we want to talk about job creation, the only job the leader opposite has ever created was the one he left open for the member for Carleton in the last election.

[Finance, October 1st, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, I do not know where the Conservatives have been for the last four months, but we have criss-crossed the country talking to, consulting with and listening to Canadians. Their message was resoundingly clear: They want us to spend less on government operations, invest more in nation-building projects and strengthen our economy, building the most resilient economy in the G7. Again, the Conservatives should please stop the rhetoric, join with us and get on board.

[Finance, October 1st, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, on April 28, Canadians made a clear choice for a leader with business and economic experience versus a leader with none. We are laser focused on cutting taxes for 22 million Canadians. We are cutting taxes for first-time homebuyers. Interest rates are low, and we will build homes at a scale not seen since the Second World War. We will build the strongest economy in the G7. I ask Conservatives to cut the rhetoric and get on board.

[The Economy, October 1st, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, while the Conservative leader was busy trying to get the only job he ever had back, three months ago today we cut taxes for 22 million Canadians, and we are not stopping there. We are going to cut spending on government operations so we can invest more in nation-building projects, in housing, in infrastructure and in defence. We will create tens of thousands of good-paying jobs, and I ask the Conservatives to cut the rhetoric and get on board.

[The Economy, September 25th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, on November 4, we are going to table a plan that is going to spend less in government operations so we can invest in our country. We are going to build and invest in nation-building projects. We are going to create and build the strongest economy in the G7. We believe in affordability; the party opposite does not. I ask its members to cut the rhetoric, get on board and join with us.
