I appreciate hearing that, Mr. Chair.
Now, I'm going to go to page 1.3, the fourth paragraph down. Basically, it talks about the economic recovery, because we're talking about a stronger recovery. This economic recovery has underpinned a strong rebound in Canada's labour market, with over one million more Canadians working now than July 2009 when the recovery began, an increase of 6.1%. Canada has outperformed all the other G-7 economies in economic growth since the start of the global recession and it's recorded the strongest growth in job creation over the recovery.
In your opinion, sir, what are some of the factors that would have led to this, I would say, to at least a foundation for more economic growth, bearing in mind, obviously, our economies are so integrated?
