Mr. Speaker, managing debt is important, and so is intellectual honesty and context. The reality is that our debt servicing is at 1.7% of GDP, comparable to the Harper years that they lionize, and well below the 6.5% in the nineties. We have the lowest net debt. We have the second-lowest deficit. We are using that fiscal capacity to grow our economy, including in our home city of Calgary, where [more]

Mr. Speaker, the deficit is down. Rents are down. Housing prices are down. Economic activity is up. The plan is working. We welcome members to get on board.

Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for that tour through the Conservative cinematic universe, but let us get back to the facts here. The reality is we have seen in our home province of Alberta an increase of 40,000 jobs since the start of the year. We are seeing debt servicing at low levels internationally. Our deficit is the second lowest in the G7, 2.5% compared to the U.S.'s 8.5%. We are on [more]

Mr. Speaker, I just want to remind my colleagues across the way that Stephen Harper ran deficits in seven of nine fiscal years. In Alberta, we are seeing the plan we are putting in place go to work. We have 40,000 new jobs this year, 4,000 of which are youth jobs. We have the Pacific link pipeline under construction next year. We also have the pathways carbon capture project going. It is an [more]

Mr. Speaker, of course, that is not how any of that works. If we look at the Bank of Canada's report, it says the inflation is driven by global energy prices. It is undeniable. However, there is good news in my home province of Alberta. There are 67,000 new jobs since the start of the year. We are seeing record production of oil and gas. We are seeing record diesel production up 16%. That is how [more]

Mr. Speaker, last week, Canadians marked National Forest Week, and sector leaders from across the country gathered in Ottawa at the Forest Products Association of Canada's annual conference to strengthen this vital sector. There is no question that U.S. trade actions and the decline of newsprint have made for some challenging years, but we are a nation of forests. Forestry quite literally built [more]

Madam Speaker, the tanker ban, while enshrined in law under the Trudeau government, of course has existed on a voluntary basis since the 1980s under Mulroney, Campbell, Chrétien, Martin and Harper, and continues to be a cornerstone of protecting the north coast. We are seeing record production in oil and gas. We have a west coast pipeline because we have come to a place of agreement through [more]

Madam Speaker, with great respect to my colleague, 62,000 jobs this year sounds like an awful lot of action to me. That is also combined with record oil production and record diesel production. We are also seeing rents and housing prices go down in Calgary. We have done that by finding a balance and working together. That is also supporting renewable energy in Calgary, a centre of all energy [more]

Prime Minister Madam Speaker, Canada has world-leading expertise in LNG, civil, nuclear and emerging energy technologies, and partners around the world want what we have. This week in Turkey, thehighlighted how Canada can support their energy diversification goals and said AtkinsRéalis now has good chances of supplying Canadian-designed CANDU reactors to power the Turkish economy. This means [more]

Madam Speaker, I will also mention northern gateway. The Harper government's failure to properly manage the consultations on that was one of the consequences that led to TMX being such an expensive project. We have learned a lot. We have developed as a nation. Jurisprudence has gone along there. Even though the costs were high, I will also say that TMX is an incredibly profitable pipeline in a [more]
