Mr. Speaker, tragically, 3,000 auto workers in Brampton learned that the Prime Minister had sold them out and failed them in negotiations with the United States of America. To make matters worse, the Liberal government and the Liberal finance minister forked over $15 billion in tax dollars to the company that is moving their jobs south. Surely the government would have negotiated a jobs guarantee …

Mr. Speaker, surely Stellantis would not be announcing that it is moving a 3,000-worker plant to the United States of America if the government had negotiated job guarantees in that contract of $15 billion. To put this into perspective, $15 billion is $1,000 for every single family in Canada. That was supposed to create jobs. I have a simple yes-or-no question: Is there an iron-clad guarantee of e…

Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague, the leader of the NDP, for raising this issue as well. I rise today to discuss the emergency in the lives of 3,000 Brampton area families who received the news, one day after the Prime Minister's meeting with the President of the United States, that their factory would be moving to the U.S. For these families, it is not just an emergency. It is a tragedy. Th…

Mr. Speaker, he must be on to something here, because Canada has invested a half-trillion dollars in the U.S. over the last five years alone and probably a trillion dollars in the next five years if we get the agreement we expect to get. This is what the Prime Minister said. This is after he has failed to get tariffs lifted on our auto workers and our lumber workers, after thousands have lost thei…

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister says he is going to put it right in the agreement, so presumably he is going to enforce it somehow. It is another Liberal contradiction, another failure and broken promise by the Prime Minister. Let us go to energy. Just days ago, the Prime Minister voted in favour of an energy cap that would make it impossible to fill another pipeline; then he woke up and discovere…

Mr. Speaker, while the Americans are increasing their tariffs on our softwood lumber and automobiles, the Prime Minister has made a huge promise to the United States. He said that Canada had already invested half a billion dollars over the past five years and that $1 trillion would likely be invested over the next five years if we get the agreement we expect. The Prime Minister said this would be …

Mr. Speaker, it is true that President Trump should be congratulated for his Middle East peace agreement. However, I asked the Prime Minister a question in French about Canadian jobs. The Prime Minister should show a bit of respect for Quebec and for francophones who are losing their jobs right now and he should answer the question. He promised that the agreement he will sign with the Americans wi…

Mr. Speaker, it seems to be the current Liberal Prime Minister's approach, just like the prior Liberal prime minister, that they cannot do anything about the fact that we have lost half a trillion dollars of investment, cannot do anything about the fact that we are the fastest-shrinking economy in the G7 with the second-highest unemployment and cannot do anything about the fact that we have the lo…

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister came home empty-handed, with more tariffs on softwood and automobiles, but he made a massive promise of $1 trillion of investment that would leave Canada to go to the United States. He said that this would be part of the agreement that he expects to get. Right in the agreement, he is going to commit to moving $1 trillion out of Canada. Yesterday, he confirmed it wou…

Mr. Speaker, we will cut bureaucracy, consultants, foreign aid, corporate welfare, funding for bogus refugees and the list goes on. We will reduce the size of government to bring down the cost of living, inflation and taxes. We know that the government is causing inflation by printing money. The member mentioned interest rates. The Governor of the Bank of Canada is not saying that inflation is low…

Mr. Speaker, what we have is the fastest-shrinking economy in the G7, with the second-highest unemployment. He was there, so he has a duty to tell Canadians, who are the owners of this $1 trillion he wants to push out of our country, what is in this deal. He said it would actually be in the agreement that he is going to move $1 trillion of private money south. There are two ways to do that. Is he …

Mr. Speaker, first of all, the Liberals' argument that they are not as bankrupt as the other countries is not actually true, even if it were a good argument. To start with, Canada's debt is much higher than we see in most G7 countries when we include all debt levels, both public and private, because the Liberals have indebted our households with high taxes and high inflation. I will give a lesson …

Mr. Speaker, for centuries, alchemists promised to transform lead into gold, and they failed. What is surprising is that after each failure, they still managed to convince one group of people after another with their promise. Today, the chief alchemist, the Liberal Prime Minister, is promising to transform deficits into investments. He presents this as a new promise, but in reality, it is the same…

Mr. Speaker, we now know why the U.S. President wanted the Prime Minister in power so badly. He wanted a weak leader whose high taxes and anti-development laws are sending billions of dollars and thousands of jobs out of this country. There have been 86,000 jobs lost. Yesterday, the Prime Minister promised the President that he would increase Canadian investment in the U.S. by $1 trillion if he ge…

Mr. Speaker, he just confirmed that he is selling out our auto workers. Let me tell him what it means when investment leaves this country.

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister would know all about driving investment out of Canada and into the United States, given that he has already managed to drive $54 billion in investments to the United States, killing 86,000 jobs in the process. These jobs represent families, who are now sitting around the table, wondering how they will pay their bills. When he came to power, he promised to get rid of…

Mr. Speaker, we will go soft on him today, because I know he is recovering from surgery to have his elbows removed. Do we remember that promise? He was dancing around with his elbows in the air.

Mr. Speaker, Canadians do remember the last election, when the Prime Minister promised to put elbows up. It was not a promise; it was the promise he ran on. Now those elbows have come down.

Mr. Speaker, give me a trillion dollars, and even I will say something nice about the Prime Minister. How much is it going to cost to pay Canadian investment dollars to flatter the Prime Minister's ego?

That means factories and plants closing in Canada, most of all in our auto…

Mr. Speaker, zero is the paycheque that those workers who have lost their jobs are getting right now. Seventh is last place in the G7 when it comes to growth or, in this case, negative growth.

Mr. Speaker, the president has been warned: If he puts in another tariff, the Prime Minister is going to give him yet another $1 trillion.
