Mr. Speaker, we will present the members opposite an opportunity to build. We will present the one Canadian economy bill. We will rapidly advance projects of national interest and build one economy, not 13. The bill will grow the economy and make Canada the strongest economy in the G7. We hope they will join us in voting for it.

Mr. Speaker, what the government will do is present the one Canadian economy bill to rapidly advance projects of national interest and build one Canadian economy, not 13.

Mr. Speaker, at the first ministers' meeting, the Prime Minister and the premiers got together and thought that the one Canadian economy act was a great idea. Managements think it is a great idea. Labour unions think it is a great idea. It would be very helpful if the Conservatives got on board and helped us get this bill passed.

Mr. Speaker, what my hon. colleague should know is that the CEOs of the energy companies, the union workers and the rig workers are all supporting the one Canadian economy act, so it would be really great if the Conservatives got on board as well.

Mr. Speaker, mining is crucial to our economy, and with Canada facing American tariffs, we must support mine workers. That is why we will speed up permitting of new mines by cutting red tape and approving projects within two years. This will be in Canada's national interest. This will make Canada stronger. This will make us more sovereign.

Mr. Speaker, in Saskatoon, the Prime Minister and 13 premiers got together to talk about how we build projects of national interest. Those projects of national interest will include roads, pipelines, transmission lines and renewable resources. If the hon. members on the other side of the House wants to see many projects built, they should support the bill.

Mr. Speaker, as I said, if the hon. member wants to get people working again, the one Canadian economy act is designed to get projects of national interest built. That would get steelworkers back to work. That would get aluminum workers back to work. That would get forest products industries back to work. Please support the bill.
