Our government’s economic plan is delivering real, concrete action to build more homes, faster – we can hear those homes being built right now – and to make housing more affordable.
Since the depths of the pandemic, Canada has had the fastest rate of fiscal consolidation in the G7. This means we have brought down our deficits faster than any of our G7 peers. We also maintain both the lowest deficit and debt-to-GDP ratio in the G7, which is central to our AAA credit rating.
More importantly, our plan is delivering clean, reliable, and affordable electricity to people here in Manitoba. And it is creating great jobs—great careers—for people right across Manitoba, including great careers at places like Manitoba Hydro.
In the past few weeks, as part of our economic plan, we have been taking, week after week, real, concrete action to address Canada’s housing challenge to build more homes, faster, and to act on affordability.

Protecting the pensions of every single Canadian is a priority for our government. We will always stand up for the Canada Pension Plan and for the secure and dignified retirement it provides for all Canadians—a point I made clear in today’s meeting.

Earlier this year, the CRTC set out three areas of focus. First, promoting competition to deliver reliable, affordable, and high-quality Internet and cellphone services for Canadians. Second, modernizing our broadcasting system to promote Canadian and Indigenous content. And, third, improving the CRTC to better serve Canadians. Let me talk about each in turn.
