Mr. Speaker, our colleague talks about building opportunities for young people. That is exactly what our government is doing across the country. Whether through investments in major projects in Quebec and the rest of Canada, student aid, summer jobs, or assistance for industries facing unjustified tariffs, our government is always looking for the best way to help and support young people and all [more]

Mr. Speaker, I understand that our colleague from the Bloc Québécois wishes to characterize a series of decisions in a way that is not entirely accurate, but as we have said many times in the House, the bill before Parliament is specifically intended to expedite, in a responsible and rigorous manner, projects that are in the country's economic and social interest. Just because we are moving [more]

Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, our colleague should be very reassured that theis doing exactly that: his job. He is building a strong Canadian economy. He is diversifying our trading relationships with reliable partners around the world. He is doing what we campaigned on in the last election. I know the hon. member may prefer to forget the last election. We remember clearly the commitment we made to [more]

Mr. Speaker, with all due respect to my friend from the Bloc Québécois, he knows full well that science is not optional in environmental impact assessments, whether the projects involved are major or relatively modest. What have we done in legislation that applies to federal entities? I understand that in the previous question, his leader somewhat overstated the impact of this bill on matters [more]

Mr. Speaker, with all due respect to our colleague, just because she repeats overblown remarks or says things that might make a good clip for tonight's TVA news does not mean they are true. House leader As she is well aware, and as my colleague thejust said, this democratically elected Parliament is currently seized with a bill that is important to Canada's economy, including Quebec's economy. [more]

Mr. Speaker, it is quite the opposite. We are working with Quebeckers. We are working with businesses and workers' representatives in Quebec to build a stronger economy, protect their jobs from the unjustified American tariffs and help Quebeckers and all Canadians diversify their trade. We are doing it at the Port of Montreal and at Contrecoeur, we are doing it on the west coast of Canada, we are [more]

Mr. Speaker, I thank our colleague from Sudbury for her question. Yesterday, we introduced a bill to build Canada strong, the most ambitious reform in a generation, to strengthen and accelerate our capacity to get projects done right, strengthen our transportation networks and diversify our trade partners. Our colleague from Sudbury knows full well that we have a well-trained workforce. Her [more]

Mr. Speaker, we know that the Bloc Québécois leader likes to exaggerate, but he is really outdoing himself today. He knows full well that the government was elected by Canadians, including many members from Quebec, specifically to build a more resilient economy, to diversify trade in response to an unreliable trading partner, and to build in a responsible way, which is exactly what we are doing. [more]

Mr. Speaker, on the contrary, we worked with businesses in Quebec. We were constantly working with union representatives from Quebec, with the Government of Quebec. We worked with business people from across the country because we wanted an agreement that is in Canada's best economic interest, to strengthen Canada's economic and cultural sovereignty. We know that the Conservatives would have [more]

Mr. Speaker, perhaps what our colleague fails to realize is that countertariffs are also essential to protect Canadian workers and Canadian businesses that are facing, from the United States, tariffs that are unjustified, illegal and not in compliance with CUSMA. Our colleague pretends what? Is it that we should not have taken measures to support Canadian industries and Canadian workers? [more]

Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, our government spent many weeks this summer pursuing in good faith an agreement with the United States that would have strengthened the Canadian economy and ensured Canadian sovereignty on issues as important as cultural industries and our ability to sign free trade agreements with reliable partners. At the end of the day, theconcluded that the agreement was not [more]
