Mr. Speaker, every single Industry Canada document in the past several years has stated that productivity is essential to Canada's economic prosperity and social security.
In February, the Minister of Industry told the Empire Club “productivity is the most important determinant of our standard of living”. This past weekend, he called for tax cuts to improve our productivity, the worst of the G-7.
Does the minister agree with his Prime Minister that more money spent on health care instead of tax cuts will improve productivity?
