Mr. Speaker, job creation, lower taxes, and free trade were key elements of our government's economy-focused agenda this year. We built on our record of creating over 1.2 million net new jobs.
We doubled the children's fitness tax credit to $1,000. We expanded the universal child care benefit to $160, up from $100 a month.
We delivered free trade with South Korea and Honduras, and a massive new trade deal with Europe.
We moved to tackle crime, protect victims, support veterans, strengthen the value of Canadian citizenship, cut red tape, and fight terrorism.
Canadians can see clearly that running this country is a serious job, one that requires strong leadership.
