Thank you, Chair.
I really do appreciate the minister being with us today. I know he has an extremely busy schedule.
I want to focus on manufacturing, and I guess I have two main questions.
Minister, could you outline the measures that our government has taken to support the manufacturing sector and how that differs from the NDP plan? What is the contrast? Even more importantly, Canadians did give the Government of Canada the mandate to focus on the economy, and I believe they've done an incredible job. You have a proven track record. Is that job done? Do we need to do more work on the economy and to continue to maintain Canadians' strong economic leadership?
Could you outline our track record, the NDP correspondence, and is the job done?
