I am so happy to be here. I am happy to be here in Toronto. I’m happy to be here in the amazing community I have the privilege to represent as a Member of Parliament. And I am really happy to be here at the Charles Hastings Housing Co-op.
I will speak first about our government’s action to improve tax fairness for all Canadians, the Canada Growth Fund’s newest investment, making mortgages more affordable, and the Budget Implementation Act.
I am really happy to announce that the federal government is investing $6.97 million in the Peel Region through the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program.
The Budget Implementation Act is a critical piece of our economic plan to build a Canada that works for every generation, particularly younger Canadians, a Canada where they can get ahead, and where they know their hard work will pay off.
We’re backing ground-breaking industries, ground-breaking ideas, ground-breaking research so that Canada remains on the cutting edge of the technologies of tomorrow, and the good jobs and the good lives that they will bring.
We have told our allies that we are prepared to do that and step up directly. Canada’s firm position has always been that Russia—the aggressor—must pay for the destruction it has caused. It cannot be the sole duty of the democracies to pay for Putin’s war of aggression.
