Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses for being here today.
My first question is for the Office of the Auditor General. The public accounts state that due to many factors, the Canadian economy has had the strongest recovery to date among G-7 countries, and I quote: “Indeed, Canada is the only G-7 country to have recovered both all of the GDP and all of the employment lost during the recession.”
Can you please comment on the factors that contributed to this successful recovery?
