Mr. Speaker, confident countries invest in their workers. Confident countries invest in their future. We are confident in Canada. We are not only investing in Canadians, but we also continue to attract transformational investments. These include more than $40 billion in less than three years, and thousands of good-paying jobs now and for years to come with Volkswagen, Stellantis, Northvolt, GM and Umicore. The world is looking to Canada and choosing Canada. Conservatives have given up on Canada’s auto industry. They are putting their partisan games and misinformation ahead of good middle-class jobs for Canadians. Today, Canada is the only country in the western hemisphere with an end-to-end supply chain for electric vehicles. On this side of the House, we recognize that Canada has vast reserves of critical minerals, clean energy and the expertise to continue making the vehicles that Canadians want and that are better for the environment. We will always stand by, and with, Canadian workers and our roaring Canadian auto industry.

Mr. Speaker, our Canadian Armed Forces need the right equipment to keep us safe and to fulfill the responsibility that we share with our allies to keep the world more prosperous and safe. At the same time, we need investments that will generate good jobs and a bright future for our aerospace industry in Quebec and across Canada. We share those priorities, and we will stay on this path.

Mr. Speaker, we all know the mistrust and distaste the Leader of the Opposition has for expert analysis and expert advice, particularly because the experts have roundly panned his approach on housing, as it is not going to create the housing that Canada needs. What are we doing? For example, concretely, we talked about 9,000 housing units in Hamilton, 7,000 housing units in London, 44,000 housing units in Vaughan, 9,000 housing units in Halifax and more to be created over the next few years. These are investments we are making that are delivering for Canadians right across the country, while he continues to propose cuts and austerity instead of the investments Canadians need.

Mr. Speaker, once again we see the extent to which the Leader of the Opposition will go to explain why he stands against investments that are going to create tens of thousands of great jobs across Windsor and St. Thomas, in Montérégie in Quebec with Northvolt, and right across the country in battery supply chains. He is opposed to investments that strengthen the future of our communities because he does not believe in climate change, but we know, and Canadians know, that these investments make a difference. In terms of jobs, there will be 2,300 local Canadian construction jobs and 2,500 permanent Canadian jobs just for the Stellantis investment.

Mr. Speaker, he has had 19 years as a member of Parliament. Perhaps we need to make sure that they understand commercial sensitivities to guarantee good jobs for Canadians. Our investments have been supported by labour unions and are supported by local leadership, which understands we are building jobs not only for right now but also for coming generations. Working hand in hand with companies to make those investments in Canada is what this government is focused on.
