These are tough times for Canadians with rising costs of living. Housing prices are soaring, with 2-bedroom apartments in big cities averaging $3,000 a month. Families are struggling with increased mortgage payments and grocery bills. Justin Trudeau has been neglecting these issues, favoring corporations over working people. Our efforts led to $1 billion for affordable housing and indigenous communities, as well as a framework for single-payer pharmacare. With just 25 NDP MPs, millions will benefit from free birth control, diabetes medication, and medical devices. Imagine the possibilities with a federal NDP government.

The speaker criticizes the leader of the opposition for suggesting that everything was perfect under the previous conservative government and wanting to make Canada great again. Canadians do not share this nostalgia. The speaker highlights the leader's past as part of Stephen Harper's failed housing minister, where he violated the rights of indigenous peoples, ignored environmental responsibilities, and lacked a plan for the future.

We will invest in affordable housing as it has been out of reach for many. It's time for a change. Housing is not a primary federal responsibility.

The speaker thanks the president for his leadership, calling him a transformational president focused on the economy, the American worker, securing borders, ending fentanyl, and securing the world. The speaker states that he was elected to transform Canada with a similar focus on the economy, securing borders, a greater focus on defense and security, securing the Arctic, and developing the Arctic. He believes Canada and the U.S. are stronger when they work together and looks forward to addressing issues and finding areas of mutual cooperation.

If Alberta decides to implement a lockdown, federal support for businesses and individuals will be reinstated to ensure assistance is available. The focus is on facilitating provinces in adhering to the best public health guidance. Canadians expect the federal government to provide support rather than engage in conflicts or blame.

Our country's security relies on our economic security; if our economy is threatened, so is our overall security. Let me be blunt, housing isn't primarily the federal government's responsibility. Here at the shelter in Mississauga, this is the spot where a young man from Nigeria died last week. You can see the tents where people were living. How are people expected to survive in these horrible conditions with the cold weather? Affordable housing, where can a man find a bed? "No one knows," he said. "Take a load off."

The speaker criticizes the leader of the opposition, stating that he believes everything was perfect under the previous conservative government and wants to make Canada great again. However, the speaker argues that Canadians do not share this sentiment. They highlight the leader's past actions as part of Stephen Harper's failed housing minister, including violating the rights of indigenous peoples and neglecting environmental responsibilities. The speaker also mentions the lack of a future environmental and economic plan.

The speaker describes meeting people across the country, distinguishing between those who can leave if they don't win and those who cannot. The speaker worries about the latter, exemplified by a waitress working multiple jobs who lost her car and had to return to a part-time job. The speaker claims her taxes and heating bills went up, but her wages did not. The speaker also mentions a man with three jobs who cannot afford a home and feels ashamed when his children ask why he is never around. The speaker says this man has been robbed of the promise of Canada: that hard work leads to a good life, including a house with a yard. The speaker asserts this promise belongs to everyone, and their purpose is to restore it, ensuring safety, fair wages, affordable living, and a government that serves the people. The speaker concludes that their focus is on the daily struggles of working Canadians.

One of the speaker's highest priorities, if elected, is to support and strengthen the middle class. The speaker believes that people are ready for a new way forward.

We need to focus on growing the economy and investing in important areas. Canada managed the pandemic better than many other countries, with fewer deaths and health issues due to high vaccination rates. Our economy is rebounding quickly, despite the challenges of rising costs and inflation. Our priority is to support people by investing in new housing, providing grocery rebates, and promoting competition. We are committed to helping Canadians pay their bills after the holiday season. While pandemic supports are ending, we will continue to support the economy and small businesses now and in the future.

I want to assure everyone that I've always prioritized Canadians in my work. I'm committed to having your back. That's why I want to emphasize that we are here for you. Even as this government's term nears its end, we will continue to support Canadians both now and in the years to come.

The speaker emphasizes the importance of the constitution and clarifies that provinces are equal to the federal government, not subordinate. They express the need for collaboration in areas of overlap and mention their efforts to work together. The speaker criticizes the federal government for viewing their legislation as automatically legal and disregarding the court's perspective. They assert their intention to protect their jurisdiction and if necessary, take the federal government to court. The speaker highlights the economic uncertainty caused by these legal battles and vows not to let it happen again. They conclude by stating their determination to turn the tables on the federal government.

Canada is currently being controlled by Albertans, which is not working for our community and social democratic agenda. Some believe that having more Quebecois in power is better for Canada. The speaker, who is liberal, agrees with this view. They mention that the most successful prime ministers of the 20th century were from Quebec, such as Trudeau, Moroni, Chrétien, and Paul Martin. They believe that if Quebec has a role in this country, then Canada belongs to them.

Some oppose our vision, refusing to support our budget and financial aid for small businesses. They neglect the vital role small businesses play in our economy and communities. They resist making Canada's tax system fairer for the wealthy. They advocate for minimal government involvement. Austerity would leave Canadians to fend for themselves, contrary to our values of mutual support. We pledge to empower younger generations and those who support them by using government resources to expand the middle class and uphold our country's promise. Thank you. Translation: Some people disagree with our plans and refuse to support our budget and financial aid for small businesses. They do not acknowledge the important role small businesses play in our economy and communities. They are against making Canada's tax system fairer for the wealthy. They believe in minimal government involvement. Austerity would mean individuals are left to fend for themselves, which goes against our values of mutual support. We promise to empower younger generations and those who support them by using government resources to expand the middle class and uphold our country's promise. Thank you.

The speaker describes meeting people across the country, distinguishing between those who can leave if they don't win and those who cannot. They worry about the latter, exemplified by a waitress working multiple jobs who lost her car and had to return to a part-time job. The speaker claims her taxes and heating bills increased while her wages stagnated, and she feels unsafe. The speaker also mentions a man with three jobs who cannot afford a home and feels ashamed when his children ask why he is never around. The speaker asserts that this man has been robbed of the promise of Canada: that hard work leads to a good life, including a house with a yard. The speaker states their purpose is to restore that promise, ensuring safety, affordable living, and a government that serves the people. The speaker concludes that they are fighting for these working people to give them back control of their lives in Canada.

A company that never had federal government contracts suddenly received a billion dollars for IT, even though it doesn't do IT and has only 4 employees in a basement cottage headquarters. The speaker questions why this suspicious company started getting contracts exactly 21 days after the prime minister took office. The prime minister's response is that the relevant authorities need to investigate the situation. Meanwhile, the focus on the government's side is on making life more affordable for Canadians, such as attracting healthcare workers, forgiving student loans for rural doctors and nurses, and accelerating housing construction. The conservative party is blocking these initiatives, but the government will continue to support Canadians.

The speaker discusses the concerns of their constituents, such as housing, pensions, healthcare, and schools. They express disappointment in the UCP MLAs for not addressing these issues during their party policy discussions. Instead, they highlight the adoption of extremist policies that harm vulnerable individuals and promote conspiracy theories. The speaker challenges the premier to prove her commitment to all Albertans by rejecting anti-science voices, supporting LGBTQ+ students, preserving supervised consumption sites, promoting diversity and inclusion, and taking action on community issues. However, they express doubt that the premier will fulfill these expectations, but hope to be proven wrong.

The transcript outlines a message delivered about the upcoming federal budget and a vision for Canada’s future. The speaker states that on November 4 the government will table the first federal budget, described as “our first federal budget.” This budget is presented as the plan to protect communities, protect borders, and safeguard Canadians’ way of life. It is also described as part of a broader strategy to build a stronger economy in which everyone has a chance to get ahead, and to empower Canadians with new opportunities, better careers, and a lower cost of living. Key objectives are emphasized through three interconnected commitments. First, protection and stability are highlighted by the assertion that the plan will protect communities, borders, and the Canadian way of life. Second, economic growth and opportunity are foregrounded through the goal of building a stronger economy where all Canadians have a fair opportunity to advance, accompanied by the aim to empower people with new opportunities, better careers, and a lower cost of living. Third, the message underscores empowerment and opportunity for Canadians in general, reinforcing the idea that the budget is tied to creating these improved conditions for everyday life. There is a viewpoint offered about the global context: “The old world order is disappearing, and a new one has yet to emerge.” This is presented as a backdrop that makes bold action necessary in order to shape Canada’s path in the years ahead. The speaker asserts that times like this require boldness, and that the manner in which the country responds will influence Canada’s trajectory for decades to come. The overall strategy is described as combining domestic and international efforts. Domestically, the plan involves “generational investments at home.” This phrase implies long-term, sustained investments intended to yield lasting benefits for Canadian society and the economy. Internationally, the plan calls for “deeper partnerships abroad,” signaling a commitment to strengthen ties with other countries as part of building Canada’s strength. Ultimately, the message conveys confidence that, through these combined measures—generational investments at home and deeper international partnerships—the result will be a stronger Canada. The speaker concludes that these actions will “build Canada strong,” tying the budget and the broader strategic approach to a durable national resilience and prosperity.

The speaker states there is agreement that Canada needs more housing, but disagreement on government involvement. The Conservative party leader wants to sell off unused federal lands. The speaker says the federal government owns tons of land in cities and towns across the country and plans to offer up that public land for housing by long-term leasing it, not selling it to developers. Leasing the land allows them to work with communities to ensure the right, affordable homes are built. They state they have land and lots of houses to build.

Traveling across the country, I meet two types of people: those who threaten to leave if I don't win, and those who are struggling to survive. I spoke with a waitress in her late fifties who juggles three jobs just to make ends meet. After cutting her budget, she lost her car, forcing her to return to work. Another man I met, working three jobs, feels ashamed he can't provide a stable home for his kids. This isn't their failure; they’ve been failed by a broken promise of hard work leading to a good life. Our duty is to restore that promise, ensuring safety, affordability, and pride in our country. We must remember our role as servants to the people, focusing on the daily struggles of working men and women. Let's bring back control to their lives in Canada.

The government is considering other options for home heating in the future due to the affordability crisis. The Atlantic caucus has expressed concerns from their constituents, suggesting that more liberals from the prairies should be elected to have a conversation about this. However, the lack of liberals in the prairies currently means that the people of Alberta may have to live a more unaffordable life compared to those in Atlantic Canada. The fairness of this situation is questioned.

Many Canadians want a federal election this year instead of waiting until 2025. In Alberta, there is a desire for an immediate change in the environment minister, Stephen Gebow. The speaker has good relationships with some federal ministers, including Chrystia Freeland, whom they consider a champion for their province.

I introduced the Provincial Priorities Act to tell Ottawa to focus on federal responsibilities and let provinces handle their own affairs. Alberta will follow Quebec's approach of wanting money without policy advice on programs like school lunches and pharmacare. Canadians just want problems solved, regardless of whose responsibility it is. We will work with provinces willing to solve issues and ask those who aren't to step aside so we can address problems in Canada.
