Mr. Speaker, let us look at some facts. I know the party opposite does not really like to talk about facts. We have the best credit rating in the world and the lowest net debt-to-GDP in the G7. The IMF has projected Canada to have one of the fastest-growing economies in the G7. We are laser-focused on building the strongest economy in the G7.

The party opposite talks slogans, rhetoric and outdated slogans, but we are focused on building the strongest economy. We will deliver for Canadians because that is what Canadians expect from a serious government.

[Finance, November 18th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, they want to talk about slogans and quoting slogans. They quote the food professor so much, one would think he was the leader's personal chef, serving up the same tired old leftovers time and time again.

Last night, we passed a generational budget that will transform this country. It is too bad that the party opposite did not support our budget.

[Finance, November 18th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, I have some advice for the leader opposite. He should go back to his lobby and push reboot on chat CPC, because all it does is rehash the same tired old talking points.

Last night, the House passed a generational budget. We are going to invest in infrastructure, in defence and in housing. We will transform the country from reliance to resiliency. It is too bad that the members opposite did not support us.

[Finance, November 17th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, on November 4 we introduced a historic budget to build Canada into the strongest economy in the G7 and to build an economy by Canadians for Canadians so we will never be reliant on one country again. We are making generational investments in infrastructure, in housing and in defence, and we will build our economy into the strongest economy in the G7.

The members opposite have a decision to make: Will they stand with us and support this budget, or will they force a Christmas election?

[Financial Institutions, November 6th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, in our generational budget, Canada's new government is making life more affordable for Canadians by making our financial system more competitive and innovative. Among other things, we are providing Canadians with more financial options by helping credit unions and smaller banks grow and compete and by advancing open banking, which will make it easier for Canadians to find lower-fee chequing accounts, cheaper loans and higher-interest savings.

On this side of the House, we are laser-focused on making life more affordable for Canadians.

[Finance, November 5th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, I know they are having a bad week over there, but yesterday we tabled a historic budget to build our economy for Canadians and by Canadians so we will never be reliant on one country again. We will spend less on wasteful spending so we can invest in our country and build our economy into the strongest economy in the G7.

Canadians from coast to coast to coast support our budget. It is time for us to come together in this House, like Canada. It is time for the party opposite to support our budget.

[The Economy, November 4th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for giving me the opportunity to inform the House that today we will table a historic budget that will spend less on operations and invest more in Canada.

The member opposite may not believe it, but we will build the strongest economy in the G7. This is the largest investment in our country since the Second World War. We will build big, we will build bold, and we will build Canada strong.

[The Economy, November 4th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, this is a historic day for our House. I thought we would all be together. This is a historic day for our country.

On this side of the House, we are delivering affordability for Canadians, cutting taxes for 22 million Canadians. We cut the tax, the GST, for first-time homebuyers. We are focused on affordability. We will deliver for Canadians. We got a mandate on April 28 to deliver affordability. The other side has handed one sheet of paper around all question period using the same old rhetoric.

[The Economy, November 4th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, I have great news for the party opposite. We have an affordability measure that its members may be interested in. It is automatic federal benefits, giving benefits to 5.5 million Canadians who need them the most: the Canada child benefit, the disability tax credit and the GST credit.

On this side of the House, we are laser focused on affordability for Canadians. The other side continues with the rhetoric and same old slogans.

[Finance, November 4th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, the member's question is a great one.

This is a transformational moment. We will pivot from an era of reliance to resilience. With budget 2025, we are laying the groundwork for some of the biggest investments this country has seen since the Second World War. We will spend less on government operations. We will invest more in Canadians and invest more in Canada.

This is our moment: our time to build big, build bold and build now. It is time to build Canada strong.
