Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister, for coming today.
The United States has been the best performing industrialized economy over the past few years. As you know, the Obama administration made a conscious effort to invest in the economy to spur growth at the height of their economic recession. Subsequently, the U.S. budget deficit has plummeted in recent years.
What lessons does the U.S. experience hold for Canada, given the 10 years of low job growth and $150 billion added to our national debt?
