00:00:00.000
My friends, we're beginning a new year, and more than ever, it's important to reaffirm our positive vision for a stronger future together.
00:00:14.300
This is a pivotal moment, not just for our country, but for the whole world.
00:00:19.540
And as we head together into this new sitting of Parliament, we, all of us, we must be ready to meet this moment.
00:00:31.160
We must remember to always put Canadians at the centre of everything we do.
00:00:38.180
We must meet this moment for Catherine, a nurse in New Brunswick who says she worries every day
00:00:44.300
that a patient could die waiting for care in the ER, as has happened already, because there aren't enough workers.
00:00:53.820
Our universal public system has long been a model to the world, and Canadians rightly take enormous pride in it.
00:01:03.140
But what Canadians are experiencing right now is simply not living up to that promise.
00:01:10.260
Yes, we will invest more money, that's certainly part of the solution,
00:01:15.500
but we'll also make sure Canadians see improvements and better results.
00:01:21.220
We must meet this moment for families who are struggling to pay their bills.
00:01:26.600
This week, Carina shared the story of a family in Burlington.
00:01:31.500
They have a variable mortgage rate, and they were worried about having to give up their home,
00:01:38.620
But the money they now save on childcare, because of our government cutting fees in half,
00:01:46.680
directly offsets those increased mortgage payments, so they can afford to stay in their home.
00:01:52.100
We must meet this moment for communities like Williams Lake First Nation,
00:02:05.600
Star Blanket Cree Nation, and Wazush Königam Nation,
00:02:10.160
who are experiencing the trauma of discovering potential unmarked graves.
00:02:14.600
We've made a lot of progress on the path of reconciliation over the past years,
00:02:23.460
We will continue to support indigenous peoples through this,
00:02:27.020
while we build better schools, advance self-determination, preserve cultures and languages,
00:02:33.200
and make sure all communities have clean drinking water.
00:02:36.500
This is what our positive vision for the future is all about.
00:02:43.400
Good jobs for the middle class, safe communities with clean air where families and workers are supported,
00:02:50.200
and where everyone has a real and fair chance at success.
00:02:59.000
On the world stage, Canada must meet this moment, too.
00:03:17.640
We think of Ukrainians who fear for their lives
00:03:20.560
when the Russian army is bombing their apartment buildings and hospitals.
00:03:24.780
We think of the families without power to heat their homes in the middle of winter.
00:03:34.720
We will continue to support them as they defend their freedom and ours,
00:03:41.480
Canada will continue to step up for the global south
00:03:54.500
that is threatened by climate change and food insecurity and conflict
00:03:59.160
and so many challenges that we will continue to be there for.
00:04:03.200
When the world is more stable, we are all safer and more prosperous,
00:04:19.920
we're reminded that we can't take for granted what we have here in Canada.
00:04:24.240
Every day, we must be ready to fight for our values,
00:04:28.140
for our institutions, and mostly for Canadians.
00:04:38.580
and who just try to exploit the anger and concerns that people do have.
00:04:45.660
could not be more different than Mr. Polyev's version.
00:04:50.520
Speaking of that, I met Karl and Perran in Windsor last week.
00:04:55.260
They both work at Stellantis, building hybrid cars.
00:04:58.840
They're proud of what they do, powering the economy of today and tomorrow.
00:05:05.720
as should be the millions of Canadians' workers
00:05:08.920
who are skilled, ambitious, and who work very hard every day
00:05:13.760
to build a better future for them, their families,
00:05:18.160
With our investments, Canada's gone from fifth to second in the world
00:05:33.460
and we've secured thousands of good middle-class jobs.
00:05:37.640
See, hard-working Canadians are building Canada's clean tech ecosystem.
00:05:45.620
Rare earth elements from the Northwest Territories
00:05:59.240
making clean hydrogen and recycling EV batteries,
00:06:07.460
Canada is rapidly becoming the energy and tech supplier
00:06:21.460
And while we were doing all this work last year,
00:06:27.040
how we should all invest in Bitcoin to opt out of inflation
00:06:44.800
Mr. Poliev also used YouTube to court anti-women groups,
00:06:54.360
Now, he gives speeches to the Frontier Center in Winnipeg,
00:07:03.440
that residential schools robbed Indigenous children
