Mr. Speaker, if the member opposite had actually taken the time to read the report, he would have seen that the IMF speaks strongly of Canada's economic performance. As the report clearly states, “...the IMF expects growth to accelerate above potential in 2014”. Furthermore, the IMF praised our government's economic and fiscal management. In fact, it said, “Executive directors commended the authorities for their continued sound macroeconomic and financial sector management”.
Clearly, our plan is working. In fact, just today, Statistics Canada announced that another 29,400 net new jobs were created in January.
