Minister, good morning.
Mr. Forbes, good morning, it’s good to see you here.
First, I would like to make a comment. The Canadian economy is not in decline.
Economic growth in 2025 will be plus 1.2%, according to the PBO, whom our esteemed colleague has just mentioned so many times. What has changed, though, is the economic environment. We now live in a much more complex and much more uncertain world, which requires a strong adjustment on the part of our government.
Minister, I would like to hear you talk about this a little more, since you haven’t really had time to express yourself.
In this climate of uncertainty, we need to commit to implementing measures that will help us get through this period. What are the main measures you are taking in this regard?
