I have a hard time understanding how cutting the program in our country that provides healthcare to working families by $800 billion can be classified as mercy.

There is no mercy in a system that makes health care a luxury. There is no mercy in a country that turns their back on those most in need of protection: the elderly, the poor, the sick, and the suffering.

If you believe that the greatest challenge you've got is credibility, then the way you get that is you earn it, right? That's not something that any set of policy makers can bestow.

Compromise' isn't supposed to be a dirty word. It is, in fact, how representative democracy works.

We have to have a way of dealing with this that engenders confidence, trust, gives us every chance of getting the right outcome and boosts both sustainability and economic return at the same time.

When the climate hurts, people and businesses also feel the pain.

I am saying to Canadians, there is no climate emergency in this country.

Environmental spending creates jobs in engineering, manufacturing, construction, materials, operations and maintenance.
