Mr. Speaker, first, I challenge the member to find a single study that says Canadian productivity has been falling. He will not be able to find one.
Second, in the KPMG study released a few days ago we see a series of criteria, including all kinds of costs, construction costs, municipal tax costs, income tax costs at the corporate level and on it goes, that shows Canada as the low cost provider of services. Instead of helping us to sell Canada as an investment destination, why does the Reform Party prefer to stand up and put its own country down?
