Mr. Chair, I am proud to serve in a government that is working hard to support our amazing country in a very challenging time. When it comes to the Minister of National Defence, I worked closely with him as the foreign minister, and it was a privilege to work with him.

Mr. Chair, again, the Conservatives owe it to Canadians to be clear and direct and to pick a lane. If they are seriously suggesting that our border measures should be weakened today, they need to come right out and say so.

Mr. Chair, I am always happy to talk to my colleagues in provinces and territories across the country, very much including Alberta. I had a great conversation with the Alberta finance minister on Friday evening.

Mr. Chair, I am hearing a lot of questions from the member opposite about weakening and softening our border measures, which are there to protect Canadians. If that is what the Conservatives seriously stand for, they should come right out and say it to Canadians.

Mr. Chair, is today's policy of the federal Conservatives to call for weakening of our border measures? I think that may be news to some Conservative premiers.

Mr. Chair, our government is making strong investments in innovation in this budget. Perhaps the member opposite would like to say whose ranking he is referring to.

Mr. Chair, it would probably be good to cite a source, but let me assure all members of the House and all Canadians that we absolutely believe innovation is an important engine in growth. That is why we are investing in it.

Mr. Chair, let me give some job growth numbers. Our budget will create 500,000 work experience and work placement opportunities, and our budget means that there will be one million new jobs created in Canada by the end of the year.

Mr. Chair, the member seems to be interested in numbers this evening, so I am going to talk about a few that I think are really important to Canadians. The first is for jobs. As of April, we have recovered 2.5 million jobs of the three million lost at the peak of the pandemic, which is eight in 10.

Mr. Chair, I am going to provide some other important numbers to Canadians. Let us talk now about GDP. In the fourth quarter, GDP grew by nearly 10%. In the first quarter it was 6.5%, which is higher than the U.S.'s growth.

Mr. Chair, I want to say a couple of things about the energy sector. I am very, very pleased to see the strong embrace by the energy sector, particularly in Alberta, of targets for net zero by 2050. Our CCUS tax incentive is going to help them get there.

Mr. Chair, let me start by congratulating Canadian farmers. Commodities are doing very well right now, and Canadian farmers, whose productivity and hard work is contributing very much to Canada's strong economic performance right—

Mr. Chair, there is so much support for agriculture in this budget it is hard to know where to start. As I mentioned, the clean fuel standard is going to be great for canola producers across the country. The incentives for green agriculture will be transformative. There is great support for wine producers.

Mr. Chair, exports and strong commodity prices are an important part of Canada's economic strength right now. Let me just remind people that GDP grew by 10% in Q4 and 6.5% in Q1. That is—

Mr. Chair, I agree, and let me just take an opportunity to talk about a text conversation I have been having this evening with Mark Little, the CEO of Suncor. It has just updated its strategy to get to net zero by 2050, and that includes reducing emissions by 10 megatonnes by 2030.
