Public Controversies
In May 2021, Turnbull was criticized for using a virtual background of his Parliament Hill office during a virtual House of Commons proceeding while he was physically at his home in Whitby. Some critics argued this was misleading about his location. In February 2022, during the 'Freedom Convoy' protests, comments he made in the House of Commons drew media attention. He suggested that some of the individuals involved in the protest held 'separatist' or 'racist' views, which led to criticism from opposition parties.

Mr. Speaker, I am not sure what the member has against an investment supercycle and the government stepping up to attract investment in Canada and to incentivize that investment. We are sticking to both fiscal anchors in this budget. We are getting to one of our fiscal anchors a whole year ahead of schedule. I know the member opposite is worried about debt and debt charges. Canada has a AAA
Mr. Speaker, the member mentioned “fastest-growing”. Canada has the fastest-growing economy in the G7, as of quarter two results, at 3.3%. That has given us $27.5 billion more in revenue, with a lower deficit than projected in the spring economic update. I am happy to confirm for the member opposite that the Government of Canada is exceeding its fiscal guardrails. We are balancing the operating
Mr. Speaker, Canada has one of the lowest debt service costs in the world. We have a AAA credit rating, and long-term bond yields are rising less than other countries in the G7. Everyone in the world recognizes the strong fundamentals in the Canadian economy except the Conservative Party of Canada. It is the only one doubting Canadians and this country. We will never apologize for investing in
Mr. Speaker, why does it seem that Conservatives only seem to celebrate when they think Canada is failing? It is as if they are confirming what they really want every day in the House. We are standing up and using the fiscal strength that Canada has to make the country stronger, to support Canadians with real affordability measures. We have cut taxes on income, housing, fuel and new business
Mr. Speaker, Canada has always been a jurisdiction of high standards, and we are not going to lower those standards today. We are streamlining permitting processes to get shovels in the ground on major critical mineral projects. We have enhanced the tax deductions for exploration in this country for minerals and critical minerals and extended those benefits to incentivize more critical mineral
Mr. Speaker, that is a great question. What we have done very transparently is define a capital budgeting framework with a set of definitions that corresponds to best practices around the world. We have set ourselves up to invest in the economy, draw in and attract private capital and ensure that the economy can grow. That is exactly what we have seen. My colleagues should remember that there is
Mr. Speaker, budget 2026 puts Canada's future in our hands. It is in our hands to build this country up. We have a growing economy, with 3.3% second quarter GDP growth. We found $27.5 billion less of a deficit, with a 9% increase in new business investment, and non-U.S. trade is up 56%. We are putting Canada on track to enter an investment supercycle to see our economy go from $3.4 trillion to
Mr. Speaker, I have great news this Friday. Budget 2026, announced yesterday, is leveraging our fiscal strength to support small businesses right across the country. With the productivity mega deduction, Canada is the most tax-competitive jurisdiction for new business investment in the world. From mines to mills to auto manufacturers and from bakers to dry cleaners, we are giving businesses the
Mr. Speaker, it is not aspirational when I mentioned 50,000 jobs. The new nuclear project at Darlington is 21,700 jobs in my region alone. The Pickering refurbishment project is another 30,000 jobs. Those are real jobs for real Canadians in my region. That is not aspirational. That is not hope. It is real action in the real economy, creating growth and good jobs for the future. That is exactly
Mr. Speaker, one of the first things that our government did when elected was to cut taxes for 22 million Canadians. We then entered into a comprehensive expenditure review and found $60 billion in savings over five years from government operations. In the budget, we are leveraging that strength. We are enhancing the groceries and essentials benefit, offering hundreds more dollars per year to
Mr. Speaker, we are at a time when our sovereignty and economic security are being tested. What is the Government of Canada's response to that? It is to realize that our future is in our hands and that to build that future is our responsibility. What we are doing is leveraging fiscal strength with fiscal responsibility to invest in the Canadian economy and to support Canadians with new
Honoré-Mercier Mr. Speaker, I will be sharing my time with the member for. Minister of Finance As Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance and National Revenue, it gives me great honour to rise today to speak to budget 2026. Yesterday, therose in the chamber to deliver budget 2026, an ambitious yet common-sense plan that would build on the generational investments made in budget 2025
Mr. Speaker, what we will commit to is growing the Canadian economy as fast as possible to achieve what we promised Canadians, which is to have the strongest, most resilient economy in the G7. How do we do that? We leverage the strong fundamentals and fiscal firepower this country has to invest in Canadians, to support them with affordability measures like a boost to the groceries and essentials
Mr. Speaker, it is well known everywhere but the Conservative caucus that Canada has the strongest fiscal position in the G7. That is not an exaggeration. That is the IMF, a world rating agency. We have a AAA credit rating. We had the strongest second quarter growth in the G7. We have the lowest net debt-to-GDP ratio by far. We are not compromising that fiscal position in strength. We are
finance minister Mr. Speaker, in just over an hour, thewill deliver budget 2026 in the House. I know we are all very excited, including the member opposite, who I know cares about a number of issues that are affecting Canadians. We too, on this side, care about Canadians. We are stepping up to support them with affordability measures. We have cut taxes on income, housing, fuel and new business
Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives are so committed to their pessimistic world view that they cannot see past the paper that was handed to them in their lobby to read off these QP questions that are repetitive every single day and punching down the Canadian economy. We are here to promote Canada. We are here to invest in Canada. That is exactly what our government is doing, supporting people with
Mr. Speaker, tomorrow's budget is named, for good reason, “Masters of Our Destiny”. Why? It is because in a moment when our economic security and our sovereignty are being tested at all levels, our government is standing up to protect the country we love to build industries, support families, diversify trade and move quickly to get shovels in the ground and create tens of thousands of new jobs.
