obviously Mrtrudo and Miss Freeland were not ready and we need a plan a plan to put Canada first a plan for the economy and for the security of Canada so taking about these three matters and taking into account the reality in which we find ourselves on the economic front our economy has the most severe weakness since the Great Depression and that's before the threat of these tariffs the GDP per capita is plummeting for six consecutive semesters are per capita GDP has fallen our per capita GDP has Fallen more than every other G7 country since 2019 which is the year before Co our per capita GDP is in fact smaller than it was 10 years ago when the US economy per capita had climbed by 18% despite the fact that between 2000 and 2014 Canada attracted more investment from the US then the reverse for the last nine years we have seen half a billion dollar net leave Canada to be invested in the United States that means 500 billion US have left Canada in addition or more than the amount that has come back Canadians are living in poverty two million Canadians need to use food banks a quarter of our children are not eating enough we have the worst family debt situation among all G7 Nations and the worst real estate inflation that has caused the housing crisis we find ourselves in a position of economic weakness after 9 years of increas taxes and debt and bureaucracy by Justin Trudeau despite the fact that MrTrudeau had three presidents and nine years he was unable to do what MrHarper has done and that's ex exempt Canada from softwood tariffs and the bi American policies we need an economic plan therefore what I am proposing is the following Justin Trudeau put partisanship aside and in a spirit of teamwork for Canada that he agree to reverse all those tax increases he is now proposing tax increases that are massive on investments and energy it was a bad decision before and now it's impossible the Trump with Trump's tariff and trude's taxes our economy will be destroyed we call on Mrtrudo to cancel those tax increases second today he will announce that he's going to accelerate the approval of natural resource projects in order to be able to be more self-sufficient defend Canadian jobs on the issue of security we do have problems to solve and we need a plan speaking of the borders MrTrudeau has admitted that he broke our immigration system he mismanaged the Border by allowing 99% of containers to come in without inspection he admits that he allowed at least two Isis combatants into Canada we have a real problem listen between now and next December December 2025 milon there are 4. 9 million visitors to Canada who need to leave Vis their visa is up 4. 9 million between now and the next year yesterday M Miller was asked what the plan is he said that we're going to trust those 4.
9 million people to voluntarily leave really they're just going to leave voluntarily 4. 9 million people it's MrTrudeau who admits that he made a mistake by allowing that number of people to come into Canada he needs to present a plan to solve that he also needs to present a plan for our military Mrtrudo has destroyed our military with cuts mismanagement cancellation of the F35 purchases he couldn't even prevent China's weather balloon from coming into Canada's North he had to ask for assistance from the US we will need to rebuild our military today I call on MrTrudeau to announced that he will reverse the $1 billion Cuts annually that he has already put in place on military spending and to present to us a plan a plan to give our military more resources by eliminating spending elsewhere and by strengthening our common defense in North America that is necessary and drugs we don't need to prevent drugs for president Trump it's for our own citizens we have lost 47,000 Canadians to overdoses that's more than we lost in the second world war an increase of 200% in terms of overdoses since Justin Trudeau came into power and his decision to liberalize drugs MrTrudeau needs to put aside partisanship and in a team can Spirit he needs to admit that he was wrong to liberalize drug needs to prohibit drugs stop financing opioids and put drug criminals in prison he also needs to conduct real inspections to prevent the illegal importation of Fentanyl and its ingredients and that's not for MrTrump that's for our citizens we need to protect our economy our security we need to do this in order to maintain our trade relationship that is so important with our largest Ally the United States we need a prime minister who has the strength and intelligence and who is willing to stand up against attacks from other political leaders from other countries I understand that MrTrump wants to protect his workers and his security here in Canada we need a prime minister who will also defend our workers finally our security by putting Canada first that's what I will do than much for coming everyone now in English the United States is the greatest economic and Military superpower in the history of the world and they are our neighbor the US is responsible for $1. 2 trillion of our trade we trade almost twice as much with the Americans as we trade with the rest of the world combined trade with the US is 40% of our economy president Trump yesterday made an unjustified threat of a 25% tariff on our already weak and shrinking economy Justin Trudeau and Christia Freeland were surprised amazingly everyone else knew something like this could be coming because president Trump had been talking about it for years on the campaign Trail yet 20 days ago Christia Freeland said don't worry Canada will be fine apparently neither She nor Justin Trudeau were following what the incoming president was saying and now we must take account and we must be honest with our unprecedented weakness after nine years of prime minister Trudeau our GDP is smaller than it was when he took off per capita is smaller than it was when it took he took office in fact our per capita GDP has dropped more than any other G7 country since the year before covid we have the most indebted households we've had the worst housing inflation a quarter of our people are in poverty 2 million people line up in food banks food prices have risen 37% % faster in Canada than in the United States of America our economy is teetering on the brink of collapse and now we face this renewed threat we need a plan a plan to put Canada first on the economy and on security so to start with on the economy I'm calling on prime minister Trudeau to put partisanship aside and in the spirit of Team Canada to accept that we can he cannot go ahead with quadrupling the carbon tax to 61 cents a liter this was a an irresponsible policy to begin with but combining this kind of crippling energy tax increase with potential tariffs from Donald Trump would push our economy into a nightmare and a tail spin so let's put partisanship side and a the tax second second prime minister has to put aside partisanship and in the spirit of Team Canada cancel his energy cap which would see Alberta and Saskatchewan produce 35% less energy at a time when we need those jobs it is our biggest industry and our biggest export the incoming American president says he wants to cut gas prices in half well the only way to do it will be to import more clean Canadian energy so the Prime Minister has to stop this assault on our biggest industry next he has to cancel all tax increases tax increases on work investment and making stuff in Canada finally he needs to renew and restart the commitment to end the staffwood lumber tariffs and the B America policies just like Steven Harper was successful in doing even though Justin Trudeau has not been able to do that under three presidents and 9 years on security about a week ago Justin Trudeau admitted that he broke our immigration system and that brings new challenges his own published document show there are 4.
9 million people here temporarily that are supposed to leave by December 31st of next year 13 months from now 4.
