Thank you, Chair.
I'd like to thank all of the witnesses for their appearance here this morning.
My question is to Mr. Porter.
Even going back to May 2, the number one issue during the federal election was the economy, as well as maintaining a prudent course. People chose to elect a strong, stable, national Conservative majority government for which the economy was the number one issue. Canada has been recognized as the strongest economy in the G-7 by a number of international economic organizations, from the IMF to the World Economic Forum to the Economist Intelligence Unit.
From your vantage point, in light of all of these factors, how would you assess the economic leadership of the Prime Minister and our finance minister?
