Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, I hope it was worth it. Under the Liberal, Canada is losing jobs at speeds not seen in a generation. Over 100,000 full-time jobs were lost in one month alone, and close to 50,000 youth jobs were lost. In the G7, we have the only shrinking economy, the second-highest unemployment, the highest household debt and the highest food inflation. The Liberal rhetoric simply [more]
Mr. Speaker, we released a detailed jobs plan in the fall. The Liberals' approach is clearly failing. Over 100,000 jobs have been lost. They talk about major projects, but they have not approved a single major project. Canadians at home are experiencing the catastrophic impact of Liberal policies. The Liberals promised a trade win. They have not delivered it. The industrial carbon tax remains in [more]
Mr. Speaker, there may have been a problem with the translation when he was reading the previous quote, so I wonder if he could read it again to make sure that all members heard it in both official languages.
Mr. Speaker, as a response to the question that was asked, that was breathtakingly absurd. Is the government not aware of the job numbers? We had a four-minute response that pretends to ignore the existence of the massive drop in full-time employment. Over 100,000 full-time jobs were lost in the last month alone, yet the parliamentary secretary wants us to believe that we are about to have never [more]
Prime Minister Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, the latest job numbers show that jobs are, figuratively, falling off a cliff, with 108,000 full-time jobs lost in one month and 47,000, almost 50,000, youth jobs lost in the same period. Under this, we are losing jobs at speeds not seen in a generation, and that is quite literally true. Outside of the COVID period, the last time we had a single drop in [more]
Mr. Speaker, Conservatives share our condolences as well. Prime Minister On the issue of jobs, 108,000 full-time jobs and almost 50,000 youth jobs were lost in one month alone. The Liberalis responsible for generational deficits and generational job losses. Development is blocked, and not a single major project is approved. This fall, I announced the Conservative jobs plan: unleashing the [more]

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Thank you to the witnesses. I'm going to start by making a couple of comments about how we're going to proceed in terms of disposing of this bill. We've had some very good, constructive conversations with people in other parties in the intervening time here. To lay this out in advance, our position has been a desire to see the expansion of some aspects of this [more]
Great. Thank you. With that motion being adopted, I want to be clear that we will not be proposing any amendments at the clause-by-clause stage. We hope to see this bill passed quickly. We'll continue to work in that spirit as we have. Obviously, we hope to see it get a royal recommendation as well. Mr. Pelletier, I wonder if, in the time I have left, you could just share a little bit more [more]
Okay. Thank you.
