Thank you, Mr. Chair. I can only hope that my political career is as effective as yours is in this neck of the woods.
Thank you to all the witnesses who came today.
The Charlottetown Area Chamber of Commerce spoke about economic growth in Canada and that government policy should be focused on economic growth.
I'm sure you guys know that Canada is growing at the highest rate in the G7 at around 4%, which has been the best growth rate in the last 10 years. Our unemployment rate is on the decline from 7.5% to 6.2%, and 437,000 jobs have been created. But I have a feeling that this benefit isn't being felt as much in the Atlantic provinces.
What more can we do over and above the Atlantic growth strategy to made sure that Canadians on this side of the coast are feeling the success of the other side of the coast?
