In the last year and a half, Canadians have faced the crisis of a century. And we have faced it together.

Across the country, you put on your mask to keep your neighbours safe. You cheered on our frontline workers. And, when it was your turn, you rolled up your sleeves to get your vaccine.

You did your part. You stayed true to who we are as Canadians. And so did we.

From day one, our Liberal Government has stood up for the middle class and people working hard to join it. We raised taxes on the wealthiest one percent, so we could lower them for everyone else. We brought in the Canada Child Benefit, putting more money in the pockets of families and lifting 435,000 children out of poverty. We lowered the retirement age from 67 to 65. We welcomed 1,613,000 new Canadians whose hard work and passion for a brighter future make our communities stronger. We committed Canada to net-zero emissions and put a price on pollution. We invested in our communities, in roads, bridges, and transit. We committed to doing more for mental health services, for home care, and began to transform our economy so that everyone could benefit.

When this crisis hit, we knew we had to continue having your back. From the Canada Emergency Response Benefit to rolling out vaccines, that's exactly what we did.

Canada has weathered this storm better than almost anywhere else in the world because we know we're in this together.

So, as we finish the fight against COVID-19, let's build back better, together.

Let's put Canadians' health and safety first. Let's build more homes for the middle class and put a stop to profiteering and unfair speculation. Let's support women and families and give every child the best possible start with $10 a day child care. Let's fight climate change and leave a safe and healthy environment for our children and grandchildren. Let's keep moving forward on real reconciliation with Indigenous peoples. Let's come together to fight systemic racism. Let's find the real solutions to the real problems we face. Let's build a better future that gives everyone a real and fair chance at success.

We can't afford to move backward. Not in the fight against COVID-19 or the climate crisis. Not on healthcare or childcare. Not for seniors, workers, or families.

This is our moment to decide where our country goes from here. This is our time to choose. And this platform is our path ahead for generations to come.

Forward or backward. This is our choice.

I believe in moving forward. For everyone.

Finishing the Fight Against COVID-19

Mandatory vaccines on planes, trains, and in the federal public service. Support proof-of-vaccination credentials. Safer indoor spaces, like schools and businesses, with better ventilation. Free vaccine boosters, for everyone.

A Home. For Everyone.
