Mr. Speaker, I stand by the speech and I deny categorically that it says anything of the sort. It is astonishing.
Certainly I compared productivity rates and productivity growth but everybody knows that only leads to standards of living in the future. Again last year, for the fifth time in a row, Canada topped the United Nations human development index. That is where we measure the quality of life in this country.
If the country does not address the issue of productivity, we will face problems with standard of living, but to this point we have met the real challenges that have been impeding our productivity growth for years.
