Mr. Speaker, on Friday, Statistics Canada announced an unemployment rate of 6.8% for April, the lowest level since April 1976.
In the past 12 months, the number of full time jobs has increased significantly—by 3.1%.
These performances are encouraging. They clearly indicate that the climate remains favourable for investors.
Canada is a country of choice to create jobs and develop projects for all regions. This picture also means that the Liberal government's economic and financial policies are producing solid results. Nearly two million new jobs have been created under the Liberal government since it took office in 1993.
This is a particularly fine job creation performance.
