Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Secretary of State for International Financial Institutions.
According to a report in the Montreal Gazette , Canada's economy is outperforming that of the United States. Specifically the report indicates a 4 per cent growth during the last quarter in Canada and it projects continuing growth this spring compared with 2.6 per cent growth in the United States.
How does this compare with the economic performance projections contained in the government's budget?
