“Mr. Speaker, while I know the Leader of the Opposition is not interested in working with the Prime Minister , here is who is: the Premier of Alberta, the Premier of Saskatchewan, the Premier of Ontario and the Premier of Nova Scotia. They are all conservatives, and they all want to work with us.”

“Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Finance is not the only person with good news. The Prime Minister today announced $5 billion of new investment in this country from Japan, Italy, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, France and Portugal. We are focused on bringing capital to this country and investment into this country to create jobs.”

“Mr. Speaker, while I know the member across does not want to help us build Canada, let us talk about who does want to help us build Canada. Today, we announced $5 billion in new investment from Japan, Italy, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, France and Portugal. They want to help us build. Why do the Conservatives not try and help build?”

“Mr. Speaker, the hon. member talks about critical minerals. I have good news. Today we found 13 new projects to invest in critical minerals, with $5 billion invested in Canada and in critical minerals from seven different allied countries. Maybe they should watch the news sometime.”

“Mr. Speaker, my colleague, the Minister of Finance , is not the only person who has good news today. I want to let members know that the 2,000 workers at Woodfibre LNG are working hard, and they will be producing new LNG in 2027. By the way, the 1,000 workers at Cedar LNG are also working hard, and they will be producing new LNG in 2028.”

“Mr. Speaker, I know they want to go back six years and re-fight an election from six years ago. Unfortunately, it is today, which is good for Canada. What we hear is the Premier of Alberta saying she has never been as optimistic about the country. We hear that from all of the premiers. They want to build with the government.”

“Mr. Speaker, as the hon. member knows, we presented the one Canadian economy bill to rapidly advance projects of national interest and build one Canadian economy, not 13. This bill would grow the economy and support our sovereignty to ensure we build the strongest economy in the G7. Canada's new government will work with provinces, territories and indigenous partners to get projects built so Canada will be an energy superpower.”

“Mr. Speaker, Canada's new government will get projects built, create high-paying jobs and bring greater prosperity to Canadians. That is why we presented the one Canadian economy bill, which would fast-track projects of national interest. If my Conservative colleagues want to get projects built, they should support the bill. Let me be clear. We will do this while respecting indigenous rights. By working with indigenous partners and premiers, we will build the strongest economy in the G7.”

“Mr. Speaker, Canadians have told us that they want us to build and retool our economy. The PM has been clear: We want to build a low-cost, low-risk, low-carbon economy. Canadians will build the infrastructure that makes us the strongest economy in the G7.”

“Mr. Speaker, our government supports the development of offshore energy in Newfoundland and Labrador. Offshore energy is one of Canada's great strengths. It supports the people in the province with good wages and opportunities, while developing it in a sustainable way. We will fast-track offshore energy projects to build the strongest economy in the G7. I will add, “Go, Oilers.””

“Mr. Speaker, again, we have answered this question. Premier Moe said that it was the best meeting he has been to as a premier. Premier Smith said that we have an opportunity for a “grand bargain”. Why will you not help us get to the grand bargain?”

“Mr. Speaker, again, I would say that my hon. colleagues need to look at the tapes. The Premier of Saskatchewan was supportive. The Premier of Alberta was supportive. The representative from British Columbia was supportive. Why can our colleagues not get supportive to help us build the strongest economy in the G7?”

“Mr. Speaker, we will build and protect our economy from American tariffs, and we will win the trade war, but to find new markets for Canadian energy, emissions in every barrel of oil must be reduced. Serious investment in carbon capture must happen. We will build the strongest low-cost, low-risk, low-carbon economy in the G7.”

“Mr. Speaker, what we saw on Monday was 13 provinces and territories working together to build the strongest economy in the G7. The premiers and the government are focused on building a strong Canadian economy. What we are seeing from my colleagues across the floor are attempts to divide and to block development. I hope Conservatives will join us in building a strong Canada.”

“Mr. Speaker, if Conservatives were listening yesterday, they would know there is a grand bargain. There is a bargain that the Premier of Alberta has signed on to. We will build. We will do it responsibly, and we will do it in conjunction with indigenous partners. It would be really great if you guys wanted to do it the same way.”

“Mr. Speaker, clearly Conservatives were not listening to the premiers yesterday. Premier Holt said that this is a critical time for unity, and I could not agree more. We will work with the premiers and indigenous peoples, and we will fast-track projects and guarantee them done within two years. We will support new pipelines if there is a national consensus. We will work together, and we will make Canada an energy superpower.”

“Mr. Speaker, on Monday, the Prime Minister and the premiers agreed to work together to accelerate major projects in order to build a strong, resilient and united Canada. A Conservative premier, Premier Ford, said, “This has been the best meeting...in 10 years.” Canada's new government will fast-track projects of national interest and guarantee decisions within two years, while respecting indigenous rights and the duty to consult. There is no question that this government will make Canada an energy superpower. I hope the member will get on board.”

“Mr. Speaker, yesterday's meeting was a great show of national unity. It was a proud day for Canadians. In the words of Premier Ford, “When our country comes under attack from President Trump, we unite and we're a resilient country. And everyone realizes that if we don't move, we'll be left behind, and the consequences will be 10 times worse”. Canada's new government is acting to make Canada an energy superpower. It would be great if the Conservatives helped us in this.”

“Mr. Speaker, today, Canadians are facing threats to our way of life from both climate change and American tariffs. We are tackling these problems head-on by building clean energy projects that will fight climate change and make Canada the strongest economy in the G7. The industrial carbon price attracts new investment, creates jobs and grows our economy. With innovation in carbon capture, we will build a low-cost, low-risk and low-carbon superpower. I encourage my colleagues to join us in building a stronger Canada.”

“Mr. Speaker, to win this trade war, we will build on Canada's terms to deliver the strongest, most resilient economy in the G7. Canada's new government will cut red tape, fast-track projects of national interest and guarantee decisions within two years. We are not building just for speed; we are building for purpose to have a strong negotiating hand that unlocks the next generation of Canadian prosperity. We will get projects built to make Canada an energy superpower.”

We will make Canada strong and protect ourselves from American tariffs if we work together with indigenous partners and our workers, but across party lines. I encourage my Conservative colleagues to join us in creating new jobs, building the strongest economy in the G7 and making Canada an energy superpower.”

“Mr. Speaker, I have been clear: We will support new pipelines if there is a national consensus in favour of them. With our country's facing American tariffs, we must strengthen our energy and natural resources sectors. There is no question that energy is Canada's power. We will help build the strongest economy in the G7, create jobs for Canadians and give the best cards to our negotiators at the negotiating table. Canada's new government will win this trade war.”

“Mr. Speaker, in trade wars, we must capitalize on every competitive advantage we have. This means working with provinces, territories, indigenous peoples and proponents to make Canada an energy superpower. We will fast-track projects, cut red tape and approve projects in the national interest within two years. These activities will build the strongest low-cost, low-risk, low-carbon economy in the G7.”

“Mr. Speaker, while my Conservative colleagues are interested in playing politics, I am interested in getting things built, including pipelines where there is consensus. We will make Canada an energy superpower in both conventional and clean energy by cutting red tape, fast-tracking projects and approving projects within two years. This means creating new jobs and growing the economy. We can make Canada strong and protect ourselves from American tariffs if we work together with indigenous partners, industry and workers, but also—”

“Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has been clear. Yes, we will support new pipelines if there is consensus in Canada for them. With American tariffs threatening our economy and our sovereignty, we must protect our energy security. There is no question that energy is Canada's power. It will help us build the strongest economy in the G7, guide the world in the right direction and be strong at the negotiating table. We will win this trade war. We will make Canada an energy superpower.”

“Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to rise in the House for the first time. I wish to thank the people of Markham—Thornhill for their trust. I am also thinking of my family, who have supported me from day one, and my parents, who I wish were still with us. It is time to get many projects built in Canada. We will cut red tape, fast-track projects and approve projects within two years. We will create jobs for Canadians and build the strongest economy in the G7.”
