Mr. Speaker, for a half years ago they said they would run three small deficits and then balance the books the reality is there is for big deficits for a total 70 billion. They did not respect our commitment and were still for four and half years 200,000 jobs are lost in the Energy Sector many investment have been lost to prices with more than a month to sell with their deals we can see clouds on the economic horizon. The right honorable Prime Minister, mr. Speaker. For four years we have been invested in communities and workers and the economy and this pays off. And with more than jobs and new years that opportunities for many more people but we realize with the coronavirus there are economic challenges on the horizon and that is why to be able to invest in canadians. For a half years ago been elected the house was in order. They had a surplus. They had the best gdp to debt ratio and Economic Growth that was the treaty that we left them. But today, there is no buffer left. How can they spent all this money when we were in full Economic Growth worldwide . The Prime Minister. Translator we remember the approach they cut services to veterans, they cut Public Health, they eliminated Health Services for the most vulnerable we have chosen to invest and we have seen Economic Growth as a result. And we did keep a buffer for difficult times and we can help entrepreneurs and help canadians to face the crisis that is the coronavirus. [applause] running 27 billiondollar deficit before the Coronavirus Crisis kicked off. What does that bias . Higher unemployment usjapan in germany half of canadians within 200 insolvency. 150billion of canceled projects in the last three months of last year the economy ground to a halt was zero. 3 percent Economic Growth. How can so much money by so little . With the canadians were asking themselves in 2015. With 150 billion with nothing to show for it. We made the decision to put more money in the pockets of middleclass 1 million canadians lifted out of poverty. Cuts to health care and things that canadians need. And to invest in the canadian economy because of the coronavirus that is what we chose to do. [applause] is that a defending his record there were two conservative projects prior to the great global recession and according to public account accounts, 13. 8 billion surplus nine. 6 billion surplus. [applause] thats why we have the strongest response of the great global recession why do they leave us weak and vulnerable in our time . [applause] why do we invested in canadians . Because we knew it would lift millions of people out of poverty and grow the economy that they have neglected for a decade mr. Speaker. Investments have created growth and room to maneuver we have the firepower to invest in the economy and against the coronavirus. [applause] canadians are within 200 of insolvency before the Coronavirus Crisis hit we disagree to say we neglected to give 12 million to walmart. He is right we neglected to give 15 million to mastercard. He is right about that. He is right we neglected to give money to the corporate insiders that he favored that he has been favoring over the last four years. Is he now setting the stage to fill the coffers of his friends and to balloon the deficit with all this rhetoric today. [applause] neglecting to invest in the veterans they neglected to invested healthcare for the most vulnerable by shutting down refugee healthcare. We made the decision to invest in canadians more than any other government lifting 1 million canadians out of poverty. [applause] investing for the canadians and middleclass for the future. This is exactly what canadians need from the government. Translator thank you mr. Speaker. There were some circumstances aside from the economy to have an impact but the minister of finance said given the circumstance we could be stepping back and we have to do just the opposite and support the purchasing power notably, seniors were the most vulnerable in the crisis whiz the Prime Minister rather to commit to improve the purchasing power of seniors who are over 65 years of age . Since the beginning of our government five years ago we decided to invest in seniors by increasing the gis for the most vulnerable of them by helping students also helping families with the child benefit there is a challenge for workers in seniors and entrepreneurs with the coronavirus and we will be there to help them in difficult times. The. The honorable member. Translator the track record during the Election Campaign now we are just a few months or weeks away from the budget we dont want to send the alarming message but the government isnt sending out a message and isnt doing much compared to quebec that is taking concrete action. Can you send a clear message for the most Vulnerable People in this situation . The seniors can you guarantee that as of 65 years of age he will support the purchasing power .

Thank you for the opportunity when we took office four years ago trying to make Economic Growth one. 2 million jobs added to the canadian economy. Just in the past month making sure that benefit of the growth we are seeing more than 1 million canadians are not living in poverty today. This is the kind of growth that works for everyone. The rates for the g7 we dont even know the impact on the World Economy much less the canadian economy. Things are not going well. Look in the mirror because the situation we are in right now. When will the Prime Minister finally admit that things are not well and things need to change. [applause] mr.

The honorable members that only has this government played anything for tough times but that policy and inaction has driven investors a way of people like warm buffet had it decided to snub canada with their billions at a time when everything was going fine what will happen now that the entire planet is facing a major crisis . This liberal government can tell us what they will do with outofcontrol spending. It remains very strong today this allows us to experience Economic Growth we are only one of two countries in the g7 to add this Credit Rating to the agency and to have Economic Growth 1 million jobs to the economy to make sure we can respond to these kind of challenges that are resulting as global circumstances. Today we learned it is cutting spending with 32 percent and we can invest further in the country another devastating blow canceling investment from tech and investment from more a buffet and its clearly that canadas Energy Sector is in a crisis meanwhile standing idly by doing nothing and not taking it seriously Energy Companies are forced to make drastic changes just to survive what were the Prime Minister do to get us back on track .

Even before the coronavirus he added billions of new debt and billions of deficits the economy and the road growth of 150 billion including warm buffet including 4 billion and with the canadians week. Any notion the fiscal recovery is there absolutely 100 percent, 180 degrees wrong. The honorable member. Translator. Mr. Speaker arriving from new york with the coronavirus what did they do they went to the nearest municipality without telling them as a potential coronavirus case there was no protocol to be followed even after Health Canada was contacted still no response with no adequate physical protection is there a protocol and if so how do you make the borders aware of it .

Mr. Speaker hundreds of people to say there is the outright improvisation with respect to security will the government inform customs officers and First Responders at border cities with a protocol to be followed of coronavirus if there is a protocol. Will they give them the necessary protection . The safety of the canadians is her first priority. With all appropriate border measures with land border and stand ready to do their part with the Public Health crisis thank you for your service. Mr. Speaker it is vital the public have confidence to feel that canada is prepared for the covid19 outbreak if they are not prepared action by this government needs to be taken we know covid19 does not respect borders and the list of high risk countries continues to grow is a government prepared to consider expanding screening measures, mandatory quarantine and stopping incoming flights from these new areas. [applause]. He himself said that the virus knows no borders that we need to remember it spreads from person to person quite easily we have cases here in canada in 104 countries as of now they are based on evidence mr. Speaker to protect the health and safety. Thank you. Translator. The Customs Officers Union is concerned by the lack of canadian personnel Public Health agency says it has taken every precaution to minimize the crisis but the Union President has contradicted this by saying there is nothing on the ground. But we know with other regions of the world the cases will rise is at the Prime Minister or border experts. [applause] let me make very clear we are working very closely with Public Health agency canada to ensure all the borders on measures are in place and we are supporting officers as they do their important job. I have spoken on a number of locations we discuss this very extensively to be sure that officers are ready to do their job. With the assistance of Public Health crisis while they do their jobs. While the Prime Minister is literally playing on his cell phone canadians are concerned with the rapid spread travelers from northern italy. Mr. Goldstein said nobody did a temperature check, nothing. We tell us why travelers from high risk areas like italy are allowed to enter canada without any screening. [applause]. And that is the canadians. And we have not done that with that Scientific Evidence from canada and the who and to do with canadians all across the country. Thinking mr. Speaker my daughter family live right across from the Valley Care Center where resident died of covid19 one of the workers was the first case of Community Transmission. Those that stated one of the scenarios we are most concerned about. And to ensure that travelers from high risk countries entering canada undergo baking one bigger screening process and mandatory quarantine upon it reentry. [applause] and it was not detected under mandatory quarantine of the first his lost their life and then to make sure they have full knowledge and those in general who are doing the hard work. Canadas hospitals are at risk of losing control of the covid19 outbreak and now doctors are sounding the alarm for widespread infection. It was just yesterday that the government wrote the premier to find out what the needs are this is a failure of emergency preparedness. Mr. Speaker when will they release a detailed inventory that canada needs to respond . I think the Prime Minister with the ministers of health to ask them for advice of what they think they will need to implement their supply. Mr. Speaker the ministers of health and i have been meeting to a half months once a week by teleconference to ensure we actually know what we need to do. This is an important part of working together as a country with the support of the ministers of health and those have made themselves available in a comprehensive way to ensure we are working together.

My thanks to the member. [applause] the Prime Minister promised openness and transparency but yesterday that proved to be more empty promises the liberals voted to shut down the study but they cannot do it alone the Prime Minister made a deal with the block to block off his minority the return of the liberal Block Coalition the Prime Minister obstructed the investigation. Canadians deserve the truth give the block to cover up his corruption. [applause] translator mr. Speaker here a lot of excitement on the part of my colleagues but i can tell you it can stand up for itself. House committees are independent and they amount to their own decisions. Translator mr. Speaker. Twice with the Ethics Committee this scheming block supported the governments coverup and refused to indict the Ethics Commission by refusing to invite him on the matter of the Prime Minister of defense in a criminal case. Mr. Speaker i would like to know what they got from liberal government in exchange for his despicable support of its schem scheme. [applause] the honorable house leader. Translator mr. Speaker i realize my colleague is interested in the committees work. I would invite him to read the rules and regulations that apply to committees that say they make their own decisions. The honorable members. Translator. Caution is the word of the day to deal with economic downturn but 50,000,000. 125000 million for a few coat hooks and 14000 for one tv. Now we know it supports the spending with the government on the budget so mr. Speaker when will the liberals stop putting on the backs of taxpayers by supporting reckless spending. [applause] translator house leader, mr. Speaker once again i did not think i would have to stand up to stand up for the block they are perfectly capable to defend themselves and answer those questions if they want to ask the question go outside and ask the question outside the house. [inaudible conversations] you can continue. Translator thank you mr. Speaker. Once again, questions about the House Committee should instead be dealt with by looking at rules and regulations because they make their own decisions. Mr. Speaker last week a liberal leader invited another leader to a private meeting a meeting with a leader who wants to separate from canada. With someone who voted against inviting the Ethics Commission or to testify on a devastating report so this refusal to invite the commissioner to testify about the Prime Minister. What did the Prime Minister offer the block leader to buy his vote this time . [applause] translator mr. Speaker , if my colleague is so interested in what the block thinks, then go speak to them. [laughter] translator there is a lot of room there a lot of places there so asked the question yourself. It is perfectly normal for leaders to speak with other leaders it is responsible in a responsible way to work in this parliament. [applause] [inaudible conversations] translator thank you mr.

Zero. Nothing. Not assent. Nothing at all. Mr. Speaker it is lying dormant in the federal governments coffers. Quebec is dealing with the worst housing crisis in 15 years will the government finally and conditionally transfer the money it is due that is just sitting in ottawa . [applause] mr. Speaker we want quebeckers to get their fair share of historic investment to conclude that bilateral agreement. Be honorable members mr. Speaker when you cant find a place to live you end up in the street and this is a country whose government brags repeatedly this is lifting people out of poverty. But in this case, it is managing to keep thousands of quebeckers in poverty and put them there. One. 3 billion has already been granted simply because the federal government wants to set its own ambitions. Mr. Speaker when will it transfer the one. 4 billion that we need and that we paid for with our taxes . [applause] translator mr. Speaker. We know we need to reach our housing targets with our partners in provinces and territories including quarterback.

Mr. Speaker comment said but not surprising the minister cannot answer since they in committee he told us the department runs the department. There seems to be no plan to clear the backlog.
