Thank you, Minister, for attending today.
The first question I hadn't planned on asking, but it came out of your comments in your speech, and it's right in the economic outlook. It talks about the economic growth rate for 2017, and these are your words:
This pace of growth did not happen by chance. Our government is making the smart and responsible investments that have resulted in better jobs and opportunities for all Canadians.
In those comments—and I don't want to twist your words—are you trying to say that it is your government's investments that have spurred this economic growth we're seeing in Canada right now?
