Thank you, Chair and Deputy Prime Minister.
It's great to be here. I'm new to this committee, but I'm finding it very interesting, obviously.
Escalating issues around the world are taking a toll on economies everywhere. I want to touch base with you in regard to how Canada continues on a positive trajectory. The numbers speak for themselves. We could argue all day that “this economist said this” and “that economist said that”, but it's proven in the labour force survey that just recently came out and so forth.
Can you expand on the particulars of why we're on this trajectory?
