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.
00:00:11.580 These are difficult times right now.
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.
00:01:09.000 And we're going to change that.
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,
00:01:37.140 given the rise in interest rates.
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,
00:02:20.660 but there's still much work to be done.
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.
00:02:55.260 An economy that works for all Canadians.
00:02:59.000 On the world stage, Canada must meet this moment, too.
00:03:14.040 War has returned to Europe.
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.
00:03:31.360 We will continue to support Ukraine.
00:03:34.720 We will continue to support them as they defend their freedom and ours,
00:03:39.860 including by sending them tanks.
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,
00:04:15.660 including here at home.
00:04:17.660 And as we're doing our part around the world,
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.
00:04:31.940 Now, there are politicians like Mr. Polyev
00:04:35.660 who have no real solutions to offer
00:04:38.580 and who just try to exploit the anger and concerns that people do have.
00:04:43.800 The liberal vision for the future
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.
00:05:04.280 And they should be,
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,
00:05:16.560 their communities, and their country.
00:05:18.160 With our investments, Canada's gone from fifth to second in the world
00:05:30.640 when it comes to battery supply chain,
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.
00:05:41.900 Lithium from Quebec and Alberta.
00:05:45.620 Rare earth elements from the Northwest Territories
00:05:48.340 processed in Saskatoon.
00:05:50.580 Nickel from Northern Ontario.
00:05:52.380 Clean steel from Southern Ontario.
00:05:54.960 Clean aluminum from Quebec.
00:05:57.320 Companies in BC and the Lower Mainland
00:05:59.240 making clean hydrogen and recycling EV batteries,
00:06:02.720 ensuring Canada is recognized
00:06:04.460 in the Global Clean Tech 100 list this year.
00:06:07.460 Canada is rapidly becoming the energy and tech supplier
00:06:12.220 a net-zero world will need
00:06:14.740 because Canadians have the skills
00:06:17.520 a net-zero world will demand.
00:06:21.460 And while we were doing all this work last year,
00:06:24.780 Mr. Poliev was out talking about
00:06:27.040 how we should all invest in Bitcoin to opt out of inflation
00:06:30.620 after he watched videos on YouTube about it.
00:06:34.180 Now, we all like YouTube,
00:06:38.240 but it matters what content you watch
00:06:41.560 and what you choose to amplify.
00:06:44.800 Mr. Poliev also used YouTube to court anti-women groups,
00:06:49.620 something he's never apologized for
00:06:51.860 and never explained.
00:06:54.360 Now, he gives speeches to the Frontier Center in Winnipeg,
00:07:00.680 a group that said that it's a myth
00:07:03.440 that residential schools robbed Indigenous children
00:07:07.140 of their childhood.
00:07:09.320 Not only is that incredibly hurtful,
00:07:12.200 it's just plain wrong.
00:07:14.800 When you twist the facts
00:07:17.040 or make things up for political gain,
00:07:20.720 that's not responsible leadership.
00:07:25.320 Recent studies show that
00:07:26.600 misinformation on COVID has cost
00:07:29.300 hundreds of millions of dollars
00:07:31.520 and thousands of lives.
00:07:34.780 Peddling misinformation and disinformation
00:07:38.240 has serious and devastating consequences.
00:07:44.220 Mr. Poliev,
00:07:45.660 Mr. Poliev has made a deliberate choice.
00:07:48.720 But we,
00:07:51.400 all of you in this room,
00:07:53.460 have been there,
00:07:54.600 day in and day out,
00:07:56.020 to deliver for
00:07:57.380 and to reassure
00:07:58.660 our constituents
00:08:00.160 through these tough times
00:08:01.560 by sticking to facts
00:08:03.600 and science.
00:08:05.800 My friends,
00:08:07.460 the world
00:08:08.340 is facing a moment
00:08:09.920 and as liberals
00:08:11.620 and as Canadians
00:08:13.720 and as a country,
00:08:15.800 we must
00:08:16.680 meet it.
00:08:18.420 When Canada participated
00:08:19.680 in the two world wars
00:08:21.400 to defend freedom
00:08:22.760 and democracy,
00:08:24.180 the generation of our
00:08:25.560 grandparents
00:08:26.520 and great-grandparents
00:08:27.840 met the moment
00:08:29.180 and we punched
00:08:30.640 above our weight.
00:08:32.460 When,
00:08:33.420 as a country,
00:08:34.240 we face wildfires,
00:08:36.100 floods,
00:08:36.940 ice storms,
00:08:38.000 hurricanes,
00:08:38.920 we're there for one another
00:08:40.800 and we meet
00:08:42.060 the moment.
00:08:43.780 We roll up our sleeves
00:08:45.280 and rebuild
00:08:46.560 what was lost
00:08:47.640 bigger
00:08:48.180 and stronger.
00:08:50.140 When millennials
00:08:51.180 graduated
00:08:52.060 into the Great Recession
00:08:53.580 in 2008,
00:08:55.060 they got creative.
00:08:57.120 They showed amazing
00:08:58.300 and incredible resilience.
00:09:00.720 When we were
00:09:01.400 at the height
00:09:01.900 of the pandemic,
00:09:03.400 Canadians
00:09:03.840 looked out
00:09:05.040 for one another.
00:09:07.660 I know we all
00:09:08.320 want to forget
00:09:08.880 about that pandemic.
00:09:10.160 I get it.
00:09:10.860 but as
00:09:12.300 we get a little
00:09:13.420 distance,
00:09:14.060 I'm hearing
00:09:14.420 more and more
00:09:15.440 reflections
00:09:16.160 on the early days
00:09:17.300 of it.
00:09:18.680 How we were there
00:09:19.900 for each other.
00:09:22.100 We should remember,
00:09:23.720 all of us,
00:09:24.920 when we were
00:09:25.720 all in this together.
00:09:28.060 When everyone
00:09:28.940 had signs
00:09:29.640 up in their windows.
00:09:31.580 When people
00:09:32.160 were making noise
00:09:33.720 and honking
00:09:34.740 in support
00:09:35.920 of our frontline
00:09:36.860 health workers,
00:09:37.840 not against them.
00:09:38.900 We need your
00:09:53.620 best ideas.
00:09:55.060 We need your
00:09:55.480 best efforts.
00:09:56.980 We need you
00:09:57.480 to keep
00:09:57.800 stepping up
00:09:59.020 in your communities
00:10:00.320 to this
00:10:01.840 incredible team.
00:10:03.840 Thank you.
00:10:05.420 You're all
00:10:05.980 working the ground
00:10:07.340 hard to get
00:10:08.180 yourselves nominated
00:10:09.240 once again.
00:10:10.900 Because we're
00:10:11.760 in a minority
00:10:12.300 parliament,
00:10:13.440 and we need
00:10:14.020 to be ready
00:10:14.560 for anything.
00:10:16.500 So stay
00:10:17.020 close to your
00:10:17.920 communities.
00:10:19.340 Keep bringing
00:10:19.960 their voices
00:10:20.780 to parliament.
00:10:23.220 And let's
00:10:23.660 continue to be
00:10:25.180 the voice
00:10:25.780 for Canadians.

00:10:27.980 to fight
00:10:28.560 for families.
00:10:29.900 Let's continue

00:10:31.080 for patients
00:10:31.820 and healthcare
00:10:32.700 workers.
00:10:33.460 Let's continue
00:10:34.080 to fight
00:10:34.600 for facts
00:10:35.420 and science
00:10:36.380 and truth.
00:10:37.920 Let's continue
00:10:38.780 to fight
00:10:39.200 for people
00:10:39.660 who still
00:10:40.180 feel left
00:10:40.780 behind.
00:10:42.300 My friends,
00:10:43.420 let's continue
00:10:44.360 doing this work
00:10:45.780 for Canadians.
00:10:47.240 Let's build
00:10:48.140 an economy
00:10:48.740 that works
00:10:49.420 for all Canadians
00:10:50.440 and let's build
00:10:51.460 a Canada
00:10:51.980 where people
00:10:52.740 thrive
00:10:53.460 and where
00:10:53.980 future generations
00:10:55.360 will directly
00:10:56.600 benefit
00:10:57.180 from us
00:10:58.120 having chosen
00:10:59.140 to meet
00:10:59.980 this moment.
00:11:01.240 Thank you
00:11:01.960 very much
00:11:02.160 my friends.
00:11:02.560 Thank you
00:11:03.560 my friends.
00:11:05.160 Thank you.
00:11:11.840 Thank you.
00:11:14.260 Thank you.
